What To Serve With It

Though it’s delicious on its own, this stuffing really shines when paired with the right dishes. I love serving it alongside roasted turkey or chicken—they’re classic combos that never disappoint.

Mashed potatoes and gravy are must-haves too, adding creamy, savory layers to the meal. For a pop of color and freshness, I’ll toss together a green salad or roast some Brussels sprouts with garlic.

Cranberry sauce is a sweet-tart bonus that balances the richness. And don’t forget warm rolls or cornbread—they’re perfect for soaking up extra flavors.

With these sides, every bite feels like a celebration!
