Memere Bibeault's Meat Stuffing

Submitted by Lizzy1004

"This recipe is our go to staple of every Thanksgiving/Christmas Dinner. We enjoy it so much that now my Russian in-laws request that I make it even though it is a French Canadian dish. We usually make this the day before we stuff the turkey because it has to cool completely."
