Packet stuffing is great and easy but you can pimp it up to make something really special.

Ingredients:

• 1 packet of shop bought stuffing from Wyatts Butchers
• 2 onions chopped
• 100 gms mushrooms roughly chopped
• 1 packet of whole chestnuts roughly chopped
• 200 gms fresh sausages removed from their skins and chopped

Method:

• Make the shop bought stuffing as per the packet instructions and set aside in a bowl.
• Sauté the onions and mushrooms in a little butter and olive oil until soft and the onions are translucent.
• Mix all the ingredients well into the packet stuffing
• Butter an oven dish big enough to take the mix and deep enough for the stuffing to be about three inches (75mm) thick.
• Cover with foil and bake at 160°c for 40 minutes.
• Remove the foil and turn the temperate up to 180°c for a final 15 minutes.
• Serve with the turkey.
• Top tip – you can add all manner of other ingredients depending upon your taste, such as:
• Chopped chicken livers
• Grated apple
• Chopped dried apricots
• Chopped dried prunes

Or a big dollop of cranberry sauce! Yummmmm!
