Why ruinous? This recipe has honestly ruined me on all others. I can’t do them, I can’t eat them, I can’t even look at them without weeping because I don’t have this stuffing.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This is a recipe you’ll need to do the day before. But the good news is that, once you throw it all together, it gets covered up and thrown into the fridge. That way you just toss it in the oven about 45 minutes before serving time for a no-muss-no-fuss, plate of deliciousness!\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Note:<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
The measures below are guesses, but should be close \u2013 trust your judgment if you think you need more or less of something and let me know how this comes out!\"\"<\/span><\/div>\n

    \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
    Then<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
    Whisk the raw eggs and gently mix them in, adding chicken stock as needed to get a moist\/wet mixture. Add seasonings to taste (it takes quite a bit of the sage).\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

    Pack It<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
