Italian Thanksgiving Stuffing
Italian Thanksgiving is a perfect mixture of traditional American dishes and Italian-inspired dishes. This year, we are taking our stuffing to a whole new level and re creating traditional American stuffing with some of our favorite Italian ingredients. This recipe was created by amazing cook and foodie, Sabrina Di Piazza. Whether you are looking to change up your stuffing this year, or create a new dish to add to your already set in stone menu, read on to discover Sabrina's Italian Stuffing recipe.

6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Add beaten eggs and mix thoroughly.
8. Pour mixture into lightly greased baking dish (may take more than one) and add chicken stock.
9. Cover stuffing and place in oven for approximately 30 minutes until stuffing starts to brown.
10. After 30 minutes, take cover off of casserole and let cook for another 5 - 10 minutes until top appears crunchy and golden brown.
7. Remove from oven and top with grated Parmigiano Reggiano before serving.
If you make this ahead of time, reheat before serving for best results. Add chicken broth and warm up in oven for 25 minutes covered.
