Turkey with Herb Stuffing image

This old family recipe was brought West by my great-grandmother, who rode in a covered wagon. I've used the stuffing for turkey, chicken, pork or beef. The herbs give it a great flavor. -Ruth Warner, Grand Junction, Colorado

This recipe was a disaster! The turkey was dry and overcooked, and the stuffing was mushy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

Followed the recipe to the letter, but the turkey came out undercooked. Had to put it back in the oven for an extra hour.
