Special Precautions and Tips:
- Use fresh, not canned, sage and thyme for the best flavor.
- If you don't have stuffing cubes, you can use stale bread. Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and dry it in a 300-degree Fahrenheit oven for 15 minutes before using.
- Don't overcook the stuffing; it will become mushy.
