Add 1/3 c chopped Granny Smith apples to stuffing, and 2/3 cup to the sauce. Also, instead of white wine, use Vermouth cooking wine (more flavor and aroma). Used dry Italian bread crumbs (1 cup). Baked at 400°F for 45 minutes. Then test for doneness. The meat was tender, the stuffing and sauce were awesome. This will be a favorite!
