My Polish mother-in-law's family recipe. My hubby said he was cooking Thanksgiving dinner & making cabbage stuffing. My family was horrified! I made "back up" stuffing (didn't think we'd like this weird recipe, it was not OUR traditional Thanksgiving fare). We liked it so much, that we never ate my "back up" stuffing! We learned many things that Thanksgiving, like everyone has their own traditions & don't be afraid to try new things... & MAKE NEW TRADITIONS ! Photo of 45 pound turkey! Yep, you read right, a gift because we had the biggest oven! Play With Your Food ! xo

    We come from a huge family...(and extended family) and sometimes have to make turkey x 3 !!! If we are making one turkey... we bake the extra dressing in a large pan in the oven.
