My grandmother passed this recipe down to my mother and now I make this every Thankgiving
day. With the stuffing, turkey and extras this dish is a family favorite and adds a bit of elegancy to our meal. Sooo good—— just a little tip— the mushrooms tend to cook “down” so you may need more so there is enough for leftovers!!! Everyone will want them. Enjoy..
