While I love stuffing, my family wasn't that fond of it—that is, until I found this recipe. I added a few touches of my own and now they gobble it up. Cranberries and pork really make it something special. —Robin Lang, Muskegon, Michigan

Note: This recipe makes enough to stuff a 14-pound turkey. If you are cooking it inside the bird, bake until a meat thermometer reads at least 170° for turkey and 165° for stuffing.
