Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in some sautéed onions or celery with the stuffing. If you prefer a different cheese, gouda or cheddar would also work well. You can use leftover turkey or chicken instead of canned turkey for a fresher taste. If you want to add a bit of spice, a pinch of cayenne pepper in the egg mixture can give it a nice kick.
