Gluten Free Bread Stuffing
This stuffing recipe is plenty to stuff a 12 lb. turkey with some leftovers for baking. If you have vegetarian guests use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. We double or triple this recipe depending on the size of bird and the number of guests.
For a 24 lb. turkey, we triple the recipe and have leftover stuffing to fill a 4 qt. Dutch oven. Serves 25-30.

Notes
What to do with your leftover stuffing, IF YOU HAVE ANY? Make stuffing strata! Use your stuffing as the bread slices, mix in spinach, broccoli, leftover turkey, sausages, whatever you have. Then add eggs and shredded cheeses. Season with salt, pepper, Mexican spices, green chilies, or Italian spices, peas and sun-dried tomatoes. So many ways to repurpose your stuffing. Great for your continued holiday family weekend brunch or breakfast for dinner. Full recipe coming soon!
