Stumped by Thanksgiving stuffing crossword? No worries, we’ve got the answer!

As a detective, my first step in solving the mystery of this crossword clue is to carefully consider each word and possible meanings associated with them. Thanksgiving stuffing immediately brings to mind traditional ingredients such as herbs and spices, and saltimbocca suggests an Italian cuisine influence. Sage is a commonly used herb in both of these contexts, making it a potential answer. However, the clue says “Use it,” which implies that the word we are looking for is not the herb itself, but rather a phrase or idiom that incorporates it. This is where the word “advice” comes to mind. Sage advice is a well-known phrase meaning wise or knowledgeable advice. The two words together create “Sage advice“, which would nicely fit the clue of something used for both stuffing and an Italian dish. This process of associating words and meanings, and thinking about idioms and phrases, led me to the correct answer of “SAGEADVICE“.
