This looks 100% delicious - I don't think I can possibly do any better (I was planning a turkey roulade). Its a great photograph too. Very impressive all round.

I thought the inclusion of pork scratchings in the stuffing was inspirational!

I got the idea from a friend who is dieting and doing a no carb keto thing at present. She was telling me that pork scratchings can be used to make schnitzels on her diet as a substitute for bread crumbs. So I thought it might work ok in a stuffing mix, which am happy to report it does. I'll get around to trying them as a coating as well one of these days.
