Turkey Stuffing with Brussels Sprouts and Bacon (Garnish)

by Editorial Staff

In the United States, traditionally, the filling for a holiday turkey is prepared separately from the bird itself, and there are several reasons for this. Firstly, this way the turkey is baked better, and secondly, the filling is much larger than the bird can accommodate, which means that it will be enough for all guests. Very stale bread is used in the preparation, so that after baking the cubes retain their shape, and the side dish looks appetizing. The bread is mixed with bacon-fried Brussels sprouts, baked chestnuts, spices, vegetables, and beaten eggs and baked until the filling is firm and browned on top. Such a delicious and aromatic side dish filled with vegetables will be a great addition not only to turkey but also to any other festive poultry or meat.
