For Thanksgiving this year, Donatos is putting its own stamp on traditional dishes with the Donatos Super Stuffing recipe, which features its own breadsticks. The recipe calls for classic stuffing must-haves, such as onions, celery and savory herbs and spices, plus a dozen breadsticks that are sliced into small pieces.
The recipe pays homage to the origins of Donatos, which was based on bringing people together over food. The recipe for this Super Stuffing can be found online, with an instructional video from Jane Grote Abell, Jim's daughter and the Executive Chairwoman of the Board and Chief Purpose Officer at Donatos, and her grandson.
Although most Donatos locations will be closed on Thanksgiving to make sure people can enjoy time with their loved ones, the breadsticks can be ordered for pickup and delivery as late as November 24th.
