Start saving your dried out bread, the odd leftover hot dog bun, that one extra roll from dinner, and the ends of the bread that your kids refuse to eat. All of those odd pieces of bread that might normally go to waste can be turned into a delicious stuffing for your Thanksgiving dinner. Just freeze them for now and then the day before Thanksgiving pull them out and use them to make croutons.

This recipe makes enough dressing to fill a 10 – 12 pound turkey, but I never stuff my turkey before cooking it because it increases the cooking time. You can shave about 30 minutes off your cooking time when you cook an unstuffed turkey.
