JAMBALAYA STUFFING

Jambalaya Stuffing image

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.
