Rye Pumpernickel StuffingRomulo Yanes

Why, we wondered, should traditional bread stuffing have to use white bread? Rye and pumpernickel stand up much better to the sweet caramelized onions and earthy turnips in this very autumnal version.

Cooks' note:

Stuffing can be assembled (but not baked) 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.
