We can all agree: No Thanksgiving meal is complete without stuffing. Although we love the down-home-style sausage-and-bread version our grandma’s been cookin’ up for decades, we’re looking to switch things up this year. Think chorizo cornbread stuffing, pancetta and sage stuffin’ muffins and chestnut-leek stuffing. We’re drooling just thinking about these non-traditional options. Don’t worry, we’ve included some classics, too.
1. Challah-Apple Stuffing: Make sure you cut that challah generously and use Granny Smith apples for some acidity. This is about to be everything, promise. (via Buzzfeed)
2. Quinoa, Apple and Sweet Potato Stuffing: Quinoa, sweet potato, apples and hazelnuts are the main components of this unforgettable stuffing recipe. Wait a minute… is that a little maple syrup we’re tasting, too? (via Family Fresh Cooking)
3. Classic Sage Dressing: Holy wow. This gorgeous serving of stuffing is made with rustic white bread and tons of fresh chopped sage. (via The Kitchn)
4. Thanksgiving Stuffing Poppers (Gluten-Free, Vegan): Yeah, we went there. Your guests will gobble these chickpea stuffing poppers and cranberry-jalapeño dipping sauce right up. (via Beard + Bonnet)
5. Grandma’s Thanksgiving Turkey Stuffing: This recipe is pretty straightforward. To really personalize it, make your own dry breadcrumbs. (via Tastes of Lizzy T’s)
6. Homestyle Sausage Stuffing: Here’s that sausage and bread stuffing we love so much. Whatever you do, don’t forget the butter. (via Cinnamon Spice + Everything Nice)
7. Gluten-Free Stuffing: This recipe includes instructions on how to make delicious gluten-free bread for a totally scrumptious stuffing sans gluten. (via Yammie’s Gluten Freedom)
8. Chorizo Cornbread Stuffing: Chorizo and cornbread sound like a match made in heaven to us. Try making cornbread from scratch, and we bet this stuffing will turn out even tastier (if that’s possible). (via Damn Delicious)
9. Pancetta and Sage Stuffing Muffins: Yes, it’s true. Pancetta and sage are going steady in these oh-so-tasty stuffing muffins. (via A Cozy Kitchen)
10. Dairy-Free Herbed Stuffing: This dairy- and gluten-free herb stuffing is guilty of excessive tastiness. Wanna know the flavor-boosting culprits? Sultry sage, tantalizing thyme and luscious leeks. (via Jeanette’s Healthy Living)
11. Paleo Sweet Potato-Cranberry Stuffing: We don’t even miss the bread thanks to all that yummy sweet potato and sausage. (via Fed and Fit)
12. Butternut Squash and Brussels Sprouts Stuffing: If you hate Brussels sprouts now, you won’t after trying this fabulous butternut squash– and apple-stuffed recipe. (via Food52)
13. Great-Grandma’s Famous Stuffing: What’s so famous about this stuffing, you ask? We’ll give you a hint, it starts with a b and ends with tter. (via The Baker Chick)
14. Slow Cooker Sausage and Apple Stuffing: Cover and cook this sweet-savory stuffing for two to three hours. It’s definitely worth the wait. (via Sweet Treats + More)
15. Cranberry and Sage Stuffing Muffins: More muffins! But this time, we’re bringing you a vegetarian option made with veggie stock and cranberries. (via Cooking Stoned)
16. Chestnut, Leek and Apple Stuffing: This bright and beautiful stuffing dish has roasted chestnuts in it. ‘Tis the season, right? (via The Parsley Thief)
17. Herbed Bread Stuffing: When in doubt, just do all bread. Mmm… carbs. (via Blissfully Delicious)
18. Southern-Style Cornbread Dressing: Take it down South with this sinful buttermilk cornbread dressing. Don’t expect any leftovers. (via The Kitchn)
19. Artichoke Stuffing: We’ve never thought of adding artichokes to our stuffing. Now that we know it’s a thing, we can’t wait to try it. (via Budget Bytes)
20. Gluten-Free Quinoa Stuffing: Here’s another quinoa stuffing recipe to add to the list. This one’s made with coconut oil, pecans and Italian parsley. (via In Sonnet’s Kitchen)
21. Sausage, Fennel and Brioche Stuffing: We already used challah, so why not brioche? The more buttery the better. (via Bon Appétit)
22. Sourdough Sage Stuffin’ Muffin: And finally, the sourdough stuffin’ muffin, complete with sage, apples, rosemary and cranberries. Vegan has never tasted so good. (via Brit + Co)
