Using prepackaged Store Stuffing mix – not fresh bread
RECIPE with fresh bread see Stuffing For Chester 01
Compared to my other stuffings: Especially Chester 01
– No apple

Stuffing mix – 3 boxes – 5.25 oz each
7-8 cups of bread encase you want to use fresh bread or other size store bought

1 cup dried cranberries (I like fresh when available)
1 large onion
2-4 garlic cloves
Fresh ginger chopped maybe Tablespoon
1-2 Sticks butter depending on directions on mix
Olive Oil optional
To flavor/season:

lemon verbena – yum
Instead of poultry seasoning:
(You can use poultry seasoning I did not have any)
1 Tsp Thyme
1/2 Tsp Sage (Careful as my Mom says too much sage can ruin or over power stuffing)
1 Tsp Marjoram
1/2 Tsp Nutmeg
Pepper to your expectations
Vegetarian/Vegan Options:
Use vegetable stalk
Do not use butter
Do not use egg
Healthier:

I added some chicken broth
Put seasonings in at this point (can just add to bread)
Prepare Stuffing/Bread
Prepare Stuffng as box(s) recommend – be sure to do math if doing multiple boxes – ie: 1 cup for each box or whatever it says – you can replace some water with chicken broth if the extra flavor interests you
