"This stuffing is meant to be served with Recipe #337906. Half the stuffing is cooked in the turkey, the remainder is baked separately. If you prefer to cook all the stuffing separately, use a 4 qt. casserole dish. Originally from a November 1987 issue of Bon Appetit in a "Creole Thanksgiving" article."

  1. Made this on Thanksgiving to go with recipe #337906 from the same Bon Appetit article. I loved it, however, DH did not. It was not traditional enough for him. He later turned the leftovers into what he considers "real" Jambalaya and that made him happy. Thanks, Leslie, for posting this recipe!
