This sage stuffing is a family recipe we always have on our Thanksgiving dinner menu. It's fluffy, buttery, and lightly seasoned with the warmth of sage. It's easy to make in a casserole dish as a classic complement to your roast turkey. Find out the secret to getting light and fluffy texture.

Notes
- I like Pepperidge Farms stuffing cubes or bakery fresh cubes.
- If you enjoy a lot of flavor and aroma, choose stuffing cubes with seasonings added or for a more simple flavor, opt for plain stuffing cubes.
- For added flavor or to make this more of a stand-alone casserole, try adding in cooked sausage and/or the package of giblets, cooked, from your Thanksgiving turkey.
- To keep warm, cover tightly with foil and store in the oven at 170ºF.
