Italian Sausage and Parmesan Cheese Stuffing
This is from Bon Appetit Magazine and epicurious.com. The reviewers suggested adding a bit more sage and broth as it tends to dry out. I will personally not add the liver and maybe change the currants to cranberries because they are hard to find, but it got wonderful reviews, so I am definitely trying soon!
