For a vegetarian option, substitute the Italian sausage with an equal amount of plant-based sausage or sautéed mushrooms. If you prefer a more subtle flavor, use thyme instead of sage. To prevent the stuffing from drying out during baking (if stuffing the bird), consider adding an extra 1/2 cup of chicken broth. The orange liqueur can be substituted with orange juice concentrate for a non-alcoholic version; add a teaspoon of orange zest to enhance the orange flavor.
