This looks great, and I really want to try it. What a nice way to use up some leftovers! I'm confused by the note not to use stuffing that used meat broth as its moistener. Don't most stuffings/dressings use meat broth as a moistener? (Mine uses chicken broth.) If this means I cannot use my leftover stuffing, is there a way to adapt this recipe to use only leftover mashed veggies (e.g., 2 c. of potatoes)?
Shawna, in order to please the vegetarians at my table, I make my stuffing using vegetable broth, and bake it in a dish by itself - not in the turkey; lots of folks actually do it that way these days, as government advisories about stuffing baked inside the turkey have become rather onerous to follow. If you need to make your stuffing with meat products, I just don't feel comfortable advising you to use it in bread - unless you then keep the bread refrigerated, which is certainly an option. Alternatively, how about trying 1 cup of potatoes, and 1 cup creamed onions? Or the aforementioned broccoli casserole? Good luck - PJH
