Christmas recipe alert: Blueberry and fennel stuffing

Sive O'Brien

Christmas dinner is undoubtedly the standout meal of the year but as great as the turkey and potatoes are, we have to say our favourite part is the stuffing.

In fact, we’d go so far as to say the stuffing can make or break the meal, which is why we are very excited to try out this recipe this year.

Courtesy of the lovely folk at Keelings, we bring you Blueberry and fennel stuffing…
