Fruit and Nut Stuffing
This variation will give you a sweeter flavor with your favorite Thanksgiving stuffing dish – and you’re definitely going to love it. First, chopped granny smith apples are mixed in with the traditional celery, onion, and bread crumbs. Dried apricots and cherries round out the fruity mixture, creating a tart taste that adds a lovely compliment to the usual herbs used in the commonly made version of this side dish. Chopped, toasted pecans are the final ingredient – which is the perfect flavor to balance out all of the fruity notes. It’s a dish you’re sure to love – especially if you order it on the side of a great turkey sandwich.
Pancetta, Leek, Mushroom, and Goat Cheese Stuffing
When you’re searching for something that offers the right flavor combination for the foodies in your office, you’ve just hit the stuffing jackpot. This dish is packed with sauteed leeks and mushrooms, offering a tasty and nutritious, yet unexpected, addition to the traditional dish.

And the dish is topped with creamy goat cheese, creating a unique flavor combination that stuffing connoisseurs will swoon over.

Sausage, Apple, Pear, and Cranberry Stuffing
While you don’t traditionally find sausage in your stuffing, it can certainly take this delicious side dish to a new level that you didn’t even know you were missing out on. Also unique to this dish is the sheer amount of fresh fruit it’s stuffed with: diced green apples and pears add a fruity, yet slightly tart combination that really compliments the unique flavor added by the sausage. Finally, cranberries are mixed into the dish, which are certainly something you find on a traditional Thanksgiving menu, although maybe not as an addition to your favorite stuffing dish. When you’re looking for a great take on Thanksgiving stuffing that could certainly make for its own lunch entree, this is definitely the meal you’ve been looking to order.
