I found a Hazelnut and Sage stuffing I want to make for Thanksgiving but I can't seem to find hazelnuts where I live...... any recommendations for an appropriate substitution???
Brazil nuts would be my choice. But I've used Pistachios; and let's not forget the venerable peanut (not a "nut" per se - but it works well in stuffing)
Pecans are nice in stuffing and work with sage. There isn't really any nut with a similar flavor to hazelnuts, but you can certainly find the crunch factor in just about any other nut.
