    Cranberry Sage Stuffing with Fried Sage Garnish

    Cranberry sage Stuffing

    Delicious Stuffing/Dressing For Any Occasion

    My favorite holiday side dish is stuffing or dressing. Depending on where you live and how you cook it, you might think that stuffing and dressing are two different things but in truth, they are ultimately the same thing.

    In the most technical terms, stuffing is stuffed (literally) inside the cavity of the turkey and cooked there. Dressing, on the other hand, is roasted in a separate vessel like a casserole dish (the preferred method of food safety experts).

    In both cases, a delicious bread-and-herb casserole that's a must-have on any holiday table or occasion. 

    Cranberry Sage Stuffing

    My Favorite Stuffing

    The stuffing that tops the charts for me is my Cranberry Sage Stuffing. Savory-tart and herbaceous, this recipe is the perfect balance of flavor. The base is a mix of day-old french or Italian bread and premade cornbread combined with fresh sage, chopped celery, onions, beaten egg, and the tart chewy texture of dried cranberries baked to perfection. I've garnished it with fried sage for a beautiful holiday flair.
