For many people, the savory stuffing is the best part of the Thanksgiving feast, and the variations on this homey side dish are endless. To form the base of your stuffing (also known as dressing), choose from rustic country bread, corn bread, wild rice and even homemade biscuits. Then embellish your creation with meats, such as Italian sausage or crispy bacon, fresh or dried fruits, wild mushrooms and nuts. Chopped fresh herbs round out the flavors.
