The cooks in our family have started the annual stuffing "discussion"

12. I add tree chestnuts

Interesting you add water chestnuts. Lately I buy the cooked and shelled chestnuts, which makes it easy to add them. For years I used to buy a bag, slit, roast and peel them, and not all of them were good.

Haven't stuffed a turkey in years, I cook a turkey breast but still make stuffing with chestnuts every year. I'm not a big bread eater, usually clean out my freezer and use whatever bread I find there to make the croutons for the stuffing. Otherwise it's basic onion, garlic, celery, sweet peppers sauteed, maybe carrot. I use a vegetable broth to moisten, and bake it so it's vegetarian.
