White Castle's Turkey Stuffing is quick and easy to make, especially for cooks preparing the entire Thanksgiving dinner. The recipe is:

10 White Castle hamburgers, pickle removed

1 1/2 cups diced celery

1 1/4 teaspoon each ground thyme and ground sage

1 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper

1/4 cup chicken broth

Tear burgers into small pieces into a large mixing bowl. Add celery and seasonings. Toss and add chicken broth and toss ingredients together again. Stuff cavity of turkey just before roasting. The recipe makes about nine cups, enough for a 10 to 12 pound turkey. Note:  Allow one White Castle hamburger for each pound of turkey, which will be the equivalent of 3/4 cup of stuffing per pound.

"Family and tradition are both important to White Castle and we're excited about the longevity of the stuffing recipe," Jamie Richardson, vice president of corporate relations, said. "The recipe is a way for Cravers to enjoy White Castle during their Thanksgiving feast."

All White Castle restaurants are open on Thanksgiving to help Cravers with a last-minute urge to make the stuffing or to enjoy any other White Castle treat.

Cravers on holiday also can visit www.HouseofCrave.com to purchase White Castle's Original Slider®-scented candle.

"The holiday season is also about giving back and Cravers can purchase the Original Slider® candle and give back to a great cause," Richardson said. "The net proceeds of the candle sales go to Autism Speaks and cravers can fill their house this holiday season with the steam grilled-on-a-bed-of-onions scent."

The candle is one of a number of White Castle gifts available for holiday purchase on the website.
