    I make this every year to use in the Spicy Cornbread Stuffing for the Spice Rubbed Turkey. It is amazing. I usually double the recipe so that my husband will stay out of the pan I need to use for the stuffing. =)

    this is a fantastic recipe with great flavors, I'm considering adding cheese to it when not using it for stuffing.
