- Stuffing Mix: Any store-made stuffing mix will work but I've found the best success using Stop Top Stuffing.
- Dried Fruit: Dried apricots, dried figs, or dried dates would be delicious in this stuffing recipe.

Make ahead, storage, and freezer tips
Storage - Leftover cranberry walnut stuffing can be kept in a covered airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezer: This recipe can be made ahead and placed in a freezer-safe container or bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Defrost overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven at 350°F until heated through, about 10 to 15 minutes.
