My Grandmother makes a stuffing made out of ground veal and pork. It's
almost like a meatloaf that's baked in the turkey...the fat from the
stuffing keeps the turkey nice and moist, and the stuffing is fought over to
the last little piece. If anyone is interested in the recipe, I'll post it.

To be honest, I never had bread stuffing until I went to my wife's family
Thanksgiving.
My parents got a phone call threatening death if they didn't save me some!!!
