Gluten-Free Stuffing
This recipe is a take on the stuffing my mother used to make when I was a child. She used to cook it inside a turkey but that is not recommended anymore. When cooked outside of a bird it is more properly called dressing but it tastes so close to my Mom's that I call it stuffing.
