This Turkey Day recipe brings the comforts of a holiday home-cooked meal on the trail. Classically-trained chef, avid hiker, and recipe developer, says stuffing is his favorite Thanksgiving side, and making in the great outdoors makes it that much tastier.聽聽
鈥淲hat I love about this turkey stuffing recipe is it鈥檚 a combination of all the great parts of a Thanksgiving plate, all cooked up in an easy-to-shop-for-and-quick-to-cook trail meal,鈥 Corso says. 鈥淚t鈥檚 also easy to prep for one portion, or for your whole trail crew, in any size camping pot.鈥
Note: While you can use canned chicken in this recipe, Corso loves 聽as a vegan option because of the flavor and heartiness. These sausages can be carried in your backpack, unrefrigerated, for two days.
