Makes: to fill a 20 lb turkey. (Cut recipe in half for a 10 lb turkey) My favorite thing at Thanksgiving dinner! Mom makes 2 loaves of bread for a 20 lb turkey and we can have an extra 2 qt casserole dish of stuffing. A lesson in making stuffing from mom: As a general rule you need one cup of stuffing for every pound of bird. Bread cubes decrease in volume as moisture is added. one slice of bread makes about one cup of bread cubes, but 15 cups of bread cubes (15 slices) will amount to only 10 cups when the liquid is ad
