For a richer flavor, try using toasted nuts like almonds or walnuts in the stuffing. If you have leftover stuffing, it's delicious served as a side dish or even as a topping for salads. Experiment with different spices such as cinnamon, ginger, or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a unique twist. For a heartier meal, consider adding diced cooked chicken or sausage to the stuffing.
