Pumpkin and Herb Stuffing Recipe What's a holiday dinner without pumpkin?
Marcus Samuelsson•

Thanksgiving is approaching, and we're always in search of a new or unique stuffing recipe. This is one of my favorite stuffing recipes that I like to serve along some nice collard greens. I added a seasonal favorite into the mix — the pumpkin — and the cinnamon, raisins, and pears add a hint of sweetness to the dish. All of the complex flavors are bound to make this one of your holiday favorites.
