I was never one for stuffing/dressing growing up. I hated it! (I think it was the sage in it.) Now, I can never have enough, especially this recipe! This is a doubled recipe, can cut in 1/2 if need to. This is a delish, moist dressing recipe & I love it! YUM!

    NOTE: I always thought stuffing was a northern thing & dressing was a southern thing. But I have found out that it's dressing when you cook it out of the turkey & stuffing when you stuff it in the turkey. I like it better out of the turkey myself.
