Semi-Homemade Stuffing



I take the easy road on Thanksgiving by using store-bought stuffing to go with my favorite turkey recipe.  I usually buy the turkey variety of StoveTop, but this year I opted for the Cornbread mix.



In order to give this a homemade twist and just a little more of a fresh flavor, I add some extras.  The extra ingredients always include onion and celery sauteed in some butter.  I like to include some of the celery leaves for extra flavor.

This year I happened to have an apple, so I chopped that finely and added to the saute.  In the past, I have added pecans.  Maybe you have some fresh ingredients you can add to your stuffing mix?


After I prepare the stuffing according to the directions, I stir in the sauteed fresh ingredients.  I find that two boxes makes a 9x13 pan.  Before the meal, I cover this and heat with the other Thanksgiving casseroles.  This semi-homemade shortcut makes my Thanksgiving meal a little easier!
