Savory Herb Turkey Stuffing Recipe - Cooking Index
The rule for figuring out the proper amount of stuffing is easy to remember -- approximately 1 cup per pound of bird. This works very well unless you want stuffing for only one meal, in which case this quantity is excessive. So, starting from the maximum, reduce the among of stuffing to suit your needs.
