I have a confession to make: I'm a Thanksgiving stuffing fanatic. I love the stuff: with turkey, with gravy, on a giant plate all by itself. Filled with nuggets of mushrooms or apples (or both), savory with meaty bits, nuts, sage and thyme—sometimes even cooked with a splash of sake. (Don't knock it till you've tried it.) Stuffing is by far my favorite of the Thanksgiving leftovers, so I sometimes even make a batch in advance of the holiday, just for practice.

Here are a few stuffing recipes that have caught my eye lately. I made the Gourmet Sage Cornbread Stuffing (listed at the top) last year and it was a real winner, but there are so many more recipe choices, it's hard to pick!
