    Lovely stuffing that received complements all round. I replaced the hazelnuts with 100g vacu-packed chestnuts and they tasted fabulous. I used gluten free bread, which is drier than regular bread so I needed 2 eggs to hold it all together, but with these small alterations it worked a treat. I made it in a loaf tin which I lined with greaseproof so it turned out nicely on the plate to be presented at the table. Will most certainly be making again.

    This is a superb recipe. My mum is a vegetarian. As a former vegetarian, I know it is easy for her to be side-lined. So I am making her Christmas dinner in advance. Hopefully it will be as special as the meat-eater feast. I don't think I will be making an alternative stuffing though; this one is excellent.

    Used walnuts instead of hazelnuts (had none), and fresh thyme instead of parsley (same as before...) was still lovely though

    Very nice recipe will do again. I did tweek a few ingredients, for eg used sage instead of parsley and used less hazelnuts. Just went by sight and taste when mixing up ingredients.
