Buttery Herb Pearl Couscous Stuffing
10 steps
Prep:5minCook:2h 30min
This year I decided to stuff the Turkey with an Herby couscous stuffing. It came out a bit soggy (as stuffing tends to get soggy inside the bird) but was absolutely delicious. You could make this stuffing recipe without stuffing the actual bird by using the ingredients listed below and cooking the couscous on top of a steamer 2-3 times until fully cooked.
