Our friends at JD Farms Specialty Turkey have shared their delicious stuffing recipe with us, just in time for Christmas. Turkeys raised under the JD Farms specialty turkey certification are fed a natural diet of grain, vitamins and minerals without any antibiotics or animal by-products. This stuffing is the perfect addition to their high-quality turkeys.
