Store-bought turkey stuffing?

I'm not a big fan of stuffing, but it's falling to me to do turkey for the first time and I'm trying to please everyone without making my task more time-consuming than it needs to be.

Thanks for any information.

2 boxes of Uncle Ben's/Stove top stuffing
add salt & pepper
handful of dried cranberries and fresh sliceded mushrooms, 8 slices of whole wheat bread, cubed up, chopped spinach, pinch of chili flakes, ground thyme, pinch of sage and a cup of low sodium chicken broth for moisture, stuff bird. My tried an true recipe. Merry xmas.

BTW between my mother and her mother, stretching back at least 70 years, they always cooked the bird several days in advance; everything would get carved up and apportioned into tightly-wrapped foil packets (witth lables like "dark meat, serves 4") which would be frozen till the night before Christmas (along with containers of gravy), then reheated slowly as required and piled onto a serving platter. While some might scoff at this (including me, frankly, if I were hearing about it for the first time), I must say that any loss in quality over cooked-same-day is completely imperceptible. The only things that must actually be cooked on Christmas are peas and potatoes, making for a lot less work on an already busy day.

Of course you miss the presentation aspect of carving the bird in front of everyone, but in our opinion the sheer savings in effort on Christmas is definitely worth it.
