![<p><b>What's Carla's can't-beat stuffing?</b> As a real southern girl, she starts with flourless cornbread that's "full of fat." Her choice ingredients are turkey sausage and dried cherries. "I make my own turkey sausage, which has a number of spices and a bit of cognac." She whips it up with sautéed onions and celery sprinkled with poultry seasoning, which she incorporates into her turkey stock. "I bake [my stuffing], so I guess that makes it a dressing instead of a stuffing, huh?" Hall's all about her dressing: "The stuffing takes center stage on my Thanksgiving plate!"</p>
<p><b>Any special tips?</b> Hall warns not to use sweet cornbread. "Southerners generally do not like sweet cornbread," she explains. "We like everything else sweet — tea, rice, desserts — but not our cornbread!" </p>
