Stuffing is a personal thing.  I like this recipe from my friend Laird Saunderson because I love fruit stuffing with turkey.  If you are more traditional, replace the apples with a pound of crumbled sausage meat, and use chopped fresh sage instead of tarragon.

Place any extra stuffing in a greased baking dish and bake, covered, for an hour at 375°F.

Meringue powder replaces the raw egg whites, which should not be eaten by anyone who is pregnant.
