Never a fan of turkey, my mom began cooking a small Cornish hen on the side for me each year at Thanksgiving. She would stuff it with rice, nuts, spices and dried fruit—no bread in sight! So my quintessential stuffing is essentially non-American. The recipe here is an adaptation of my mom’s famous stuffing.
