The sides are my favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner and this doctored up Thanksgiving Stove Top Stuffing<\/strong> might be my very favorite of all. Using the breadcrumbs and seasoning<\/em> that come in the Stovetop stuffing store-bought box are super handy, while adding freshly sautéed vegetables and the giblets from your turkey<\/em> make for a flavorful, delicious side dish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Serving<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re making this easy smoked turkey recipe<\/a>, a Cajun turkey<\/a>, a convection oven turkey<\/a>, or cooking it the old-fashioned way, thanksgiving stuffing goes hand in hand with your holiday bird. (Regardless of which way we cook our turkey, we use this Citrus Turkey Brine<\/a>!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This glorified stuffing is out of this world amazing. And it’s so easy to make because good ol’ Stovetop has done all the prep work for us! You can adjust the add-ins for your personal tastes, but using this recipe guarantees you’ll have a crowd pleaser to set on the Thanksgiving table with Granny’s homemade sweet dinner rolls<\/a>, cranberry jello salad<\/a>, and creamy mashed potatoes. Every so often we make 2 stuffings for Thanksgiving, because they are all soooo good, try out our Cornbread Sausage Stuffing<\/a> or our sourdough stuffing with sausage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n\n\t

What is Stovetop Stuffing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Boxed Stovetop stuffing is a pre-made mixture of dried breadcrumbs and seasoning that you can cook up in just a few minutes on the stovetop by adding water and butter. A quick stir and simmer and you have fluffy, moist stuffing in minutes.  It’s just as good as homemade stuffing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We like to use Stovetop stuffing as an easy side or to mix in with some of our other favorite, easy dinners, but for Thanksgiving, we like to spice it up a bit. Stovetop stuffing can also be stuffed into a chicken or turkey, which adds even more flavor and moisture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can choose what kind of additions you’d like to use to make this doctored up stove top stuffing, but we typically start with celery and onions and sauté them in some olive oil on the stovetop. We also use the giblets (heart and gizzard, but never the liver because we’re not fans), which add another level of flavor to this stuffing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We add in dried cranberries after the stuffing is prepared. I just love the contrast of the sweetness that cranberries add. I’ve tried raisins, as well, but those need to be stirred in to the stuffing after it finishes cooking in the turkey. Otherwise, the drippings from the turkey add too much moisture to the raisins and they plump right back up into grape status. ha! Pecans or walnuts can be a nice addition also. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
