  2. Place the mixture in a large bowl, and add the parsley, scallions, corn bread and white bread, season with salt, pepper and Tabasco, and stir to combine. When cool, this stuffing can be baked inside the turkey, or if you prefer, add the 1 cup chicken broth, place the stuffing in a casserole, and bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees.
