Author Notes
This is an easy alternative to traditional stuffing and can be done in a bird. However, when baked on its own, it gets a nice crispy crust on the top, which is a great combination of textures when enjoyed with the soft and warm middle. As an option, garnish this stuffing with parsley and chili threads, which complement the bright red cranberries and add to the texture. —Mariya
