Whether you call it stuffing or dressing, this traditional Thanksgiving side dish just got a major upgrade. Instead of drying out bread overnight, we skipped that step and stuffed focaccia dough with all of the traditional elements of dressing. It’s got onions, apples, sausage, herbs, and even chicken stock in the dough! It's golden brown and crispy on the outside with a soft interior. So good!
