Rose Vaggelopoulos of Bridgeport, connecticut, has a large family,
all of whom are great fans of her special turkey stuffing. "It's
very different and absolutely delicious." says Rose's grand daughter,
Diane Connelly. "On Thanksgiving, I eat just the stuffing." If
pignoli nuts are too expensive, the cook says, you can substitute
walnuts or even pecans.
