Cranberry and Toasted Walnut Stuffing

A huge hit with my family and friends. Am taking to a potluck next week

I made this for my 1st Thanksgiving dinner that I hosted. It has now become one of my traditional Thanksgiving dishes. It's so tasty, so easy and really makes that box of Stovetop something special! I have also doubled the recipe to take to functions where it was a big hit!

I made this recipe for my company's holiday party. I added the fresh herbs, and thyme too. I was a winner with everyone. I am planning to make it for new year's as well.

I used fresh cranberries, big mistake. It was absoulutly awful. I THREW IT OUT!

I stuffed a turkey breast with this stuffing mixture. It was a roaring success at my house. It is absolutely delicious!

This is amazing...I liked it even better when I munched on the left overs while cleaning up the kitchen!

I dress up my stove top dressing in a very similiar way, only I prepare the stuffing as directed but cut back on the liquid By 1/2 cup (I use chicken broth instead of water), then while the stuffing is simmering I saute onion, celery, cranberries and walnuts in melted butter with a little olive oil to keep it from burning. Then to the sauteed mixture I add poultry seasoning a little extra sage and onion powder. then when the stuffing is finished I stir in the sauteed ingredients. No one even knows it's stove top dressing, and they always want seconds and thirds !

This couldn't be any more simple to make! Everyone was a little wary at first, but after tasting it, they were hooked.

I have made my stuffing like this for many years, for a little added crunch, I always chop 2 stalks of celery and add to water while boiling. This is an excellent recipe, will try with cherries for something new. I have also substituted apples for cranberries.
