Author Notes
In my family we do not stuff our turkey, instead we cook our stuffing along side the turkey so that it becomes crispy and delicious. My mother never let white processed bread into the house but she would make a concession on Thanksgiving which we loved as children. I recommend using a crusty rustic Italian loaf if you want a more sophisticated stuffing. You might think that there is way too much celery but it makes the stuffing light and celery is a perfect compliment to the richness of Thanksgiving dinner.
