Fig-and-Almond Bread Stuffing with Fennel

Go to Recipe

This stuffing is slightly sweet and fragrant, with plenty of herbs. There’s no meat in it, so it’s a little bit lighter and fresher-tasting than stuffings made with sausage.

Prosciutto-Bread Stuffing with Sausage

Credit: © Lucy Schaeffer
Go to Recipe

This recipe makes enough to stuff a turkey and fill a casserole. Use five cups for the cavity and the skin flap at the top of the breast, then cook the rest in an 8-by-11-inch baking dish.

Bacon, Onion and Rye Bread Stuffing

Credit: © Frances Janisch
Go to Recipe

After tossing the ingredients and spreading them in a pan, chill the stuffing for at least an hour before baking. This ensures that the bread soaks up the liquid—key to a stuffing that’s crisp on top and moist within.

Go to Recipe

This chestnut-laced stuffing with pancetta and fennel is adapted from chef Suzanne Goin’s Sunday Suppers at Lucques. The crispy olive oil-soaked bread cubes on top are especially delectable.

Sticky-Rice Dressing

Chinese sausage makes this sticky rice dressing deliciously sweet and savory. Joanne Chang likes using the Kam Yen Jan brand, which has no MSG; look for it at Asian markets.

A mix of sauteed wild mushrooms adds lots of texture to this stuffing; lemon juice and zest make it tangy. The mushroom stuffing can be made vegetarian-friendly simply by replacing the chicken stock with vegetable stock.
