What Makes for Perfect Thanksgiving Stuffing Recipes?
It's all about the texture. And is what separates good recipes from awesome recipes. A stuffing's texture should be moist but not too wet, with a crunchy top that isn't dry! Plus, it should taste delicious savory!

Herbed Wild Rice and Quinoa Stuffing
"Sometimes it's nice to shake things up a bit. So I thought I'd create a rice-based stuffing with all of the traditional stuffing flavors we love. Something that's a little more dense and hearty - a vegetarian (and vegan!) stuffing that's naturally gluten-free, too. Why not cover all of the dietary bases while also making something everyone will no doubt clamor for?"

GLUTEN-FREE SPOON BREAD WITH GUANCIALE
"Michael Sullivan, Butcher at Blackberry Farm, says this dish was inspired by a corn pudding that his grandmother made. He adds guanciale, an unsmoked Italian bacon made from the pig's jowl, to the batter before baking, although thick-cut bacon is a great stand-in. When fresh corn is in season, you can fold in kernels cut from the cob; they lend wonderful texture and flavor. If you'd like, place a few whole green onions on top of the batter before baking."
