Ideas for different types of stuffing?

What stuffing do you make for Christmas lunch? We're having turkey and will be doing chestnut stuffing (traditional in my family) and sage and onion (traditional in his), but my husband wants a third as well. I fancied something different from tyme and parsley (traditional in his) so that we are combining both family traditions and something new. This is our second Christmas together but first in our own house and we are having both families over for the day.

How about something fruity like plum and ginger, or cranberry and orange? Both go really well with turkey.

We made up some stuffing when we ran out of packet stuffing once, which was utterly delicious - but I can't tell you quantities because we just bunged it all in! Basically it was sausagemeat, breadcrumbs, grated onion, and lots of no-soak prunes cut up small, with some sage and garlic, a bit of salt and a lot of pepper. I remembered having something similar once in France and it was fantastic. Went really well with chicken so I imagine it'll be good with turkey too.

Heth,
Apart from the traditional stuffing in the Turkey, I like making different stuffings besides and always every year on the look out for new recipes, as I think they add to the dinner. I found a recipe a few years ago which is called Pistachio and nut stuffing and I actually make it throught the year as it is marvellous with salads or a dinner, hot or cold - haven't seen this recipe anywhere since - would you like the recipe?

I even made it for a buffet a few weeks ago and everyone wanted the recipe!

Serves 6-8
Line a loaf tin. Combine in a bowl 5oz ciabatta breadcrumbs, 3tbsp raisins, 2 cloves of garlic finely chopped, 3tbsp pine nuts, 4oz grated parmesan, 3tbsp fresh chopped parsely, 3 eggs and 2oz melted butter. Bake for 25-30 mins in a oven at 190oc/Gas 5.
Don't pack the stuffing into the tin too firmly.

Thanks, it sounds good but unfortunately I forgot to say it has to be nut free...
