Hazardous Thanksgiving Turkey Stuffing Recipe

Every year at the office potluck, I try to find new and different ways to make stuffing that requires the largest, longest possible warning sign while still being delicious. Why? It’s the fun and challenge of kitchen chemistry. Fortunately, lots of people bring different kinds of stuffing, so it’s not as though mine were the only one available. I also print out the warning sign next to the serving dish so that no one mistakes it for ordinary stuffing.

Your Responsibility

If you make this dish, you too have a responsibility to disclose its contents and provide warnings to people with allergies. Allergic reactions to food can have serious, even life-threatening consequences, so please use this recipe responsibly.

Feel free to download and print out the warning sign I use.

Some Notes

If you make substitutions, particularly on the liquids, watch your sodium counts. One substitution, like a chicken broth, could make the dish inedible because it would put the salt content over the top.
