my mom's perfect thanksgiving stuffing

My mom is 91 years old now. But through the years, when I was a kid the best thing about Thanksgiving was the stuffing. Hers was the best I ever ate. Loaded with flavor and completely delicious. When I got married and started my own family, I made sure I had this recipe in my recipe box. I've used it all my life.
