Sage Stuffing

October 1, 2019 by Zoe Yarborough

My Mother’s Sage Stuffing
Chef Ouita Michel
Holly Hill, Midway, Kentucky

We couldn’t be more tickled to speak to the woman behind some of Kentucky’s finest dining, Chef Ouita Michel. Of her mother’s sage stuffing, she tells us, “I make this recipe every year for our Thanksgiving table. My daughter, Willa, will not let me try another recipe — it’s her favorite. She’s learning to make it, too! I was taught this recipe by my mother, Pam Papka Sexton. I watched and listened while Mom used a little of this, a little of that. I cannot find the written recipe, either in my grandmother’s recipe box or my files, so our development chef Sara Gibbs helped me get it on paper.”
