Rustic chestnut stuffing

Rustic chestnut stuffing

If you love stuffing don’t just stop at one. Cook one inside the turkey to give it flavour and help keep it juicy, then cook another separately

    This stuffing was very good. I did add meat from 3 cumberland sausages as I usually make sausagemeat and chestnut stuffing but I think the pate would have worked fine by itself. Will use this recipe again.

    The pate is very overpowering and gives the stuffing an odd texture. I've made many fresh stuffings and I prefer them with sausage/ mince meat. Teh flavours are lovely in this stuffing though, and you only need a very small portion - half a muffin tin each did us this Christmas day.
