Spice up your stuffing this Thanksgiving
It is not a turkey dinner without the stuffing.
Are you looking for a new recipe for stuffing this Thanksgiving weekend? Mom in the Know Julie Findlay dropped by CTV Morning Live to share some new recipes for stuffing.
"A lot of people like in bird, a lot of people like it out of bird," Findlay said. "A lot of people like it too moist; a lot of people like it really dry and then add the moist."
Findlay says the recipes include ingredients in harvest in Ontario.
Here are two recipes from the Foodland Ontario website.
