Struggling to Spice up Thanksgiving?

So for those of you, who are celebrating this Thursday, allow us to help you out a little in the kitchen with a delicious Sausage Stuffing recipe, courtesy of our very own Debbie Petermann, an integral member of our stateside team.

This authentic American staple is a traditional family recipe that Debbie just cannot keep away from “It’s so tasty, I always get my hand slapped sneaking pieces of the sausage.” A generational recipe with a difference, it’s been tried, tested and guaranteed to make Thanksgiving a special meal.
