#2 Ovi stuffing

If there’s one thing about Alex Ovechkin, he scores goals and can stuff it in the net. He sits three points away from 1,500 in his career entering Wednesday night’s game with the Buffalo Sabres. He scored on Saturday night in their win over the Columbus Blue Jackets for his fifth goal of the season and 827th of his career.

Here’s how to make stuffing via Spend Pennies:

"I prefer to cook my stuffing in a casserole dish (which would technically make it dressing) or to make Crock Pot Stuffing. Cooking the turkey and stuffing separately ensures that they both reach the right temperatures without overcooking. Stuffing can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge in a casserole dish.  If stuffing a turkey, stuffing should be room temperature or cool and not stuffed in the turkey until just before roasting. If you do stuff your turkey, remember to completely cool the stuffing first. If you don’t, the bird will sit at an unsafe cooking temperature for too long. If stuffing a turkey, the center of the stuffing needs to be cooked to 165°F because the drippings from the bird enter the stuffing."
