16.* To make ahead of time, put everything together as usual except the herb stuffing topping, cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. When ready to bake, prepare and add the stuffing topping and bake as usual. You may need just a few minutes longer for baking because it will be cold. Enjoy!
