  • Stuffing or Dressing?

    Do you make stuffing or dressing? Do you have a family favorite? Please share. I have never found a really good recipe, so every year it is something a little different!

    We do not stuff it in the bird (Alton Brown says not to), so I guess ours is dressing.

    We talked about whether we should do a cornbread dressing this year as a nod to our new Southern home, but decided we both really love oyster dressing more. And we were wondering if oyster dressing is more New England-y. Anyone know? And my Boston-bred husband asserted that it's alright to go with a New England option for Thanksgiving, because while the northeast maybe tries to claim credit for too much of American culture, "We did pretty much invent Thanksgiving." You gotta give them that.

      We don't put it in the bird but my husband made a really amazing cornbread and sausage stuffing. He's working today but I'll ask him to email me the recipe when he gets home....Mmmmm thanksgiving.

        I didn't know there was a difference. I'm just anti cornbread stuffing.

          We make both: half goes into the bird, half baked separately and mixed together before serving (stuffing is usually more moist).

            I found this recipe for Sausage and Apple Dressing with Cranberries that I may try.

              We do dressing. I put apples and/or onions inside the bird to keep it moist. You have to almost overcook the turkey to get the stuffing to the right temperature to eat, and it's such a fine line that I don't attempt it.

              I do a cornbread dressing that DH says is the closest to his mom's recipe, although I'd love to try others sometime. Doubt I could talk him into it. I'll post later - it's yummy!

                I usually put onions and lemons inside the bird.

                  My friend made an awesome pumpkin bread dressing last year, and will be making it again. I don't have the recipe, but knowing her, she probably found it online.

                    I love my moms. I don't have the recipe - but she is supposed to teach me how to make it tomorrow.

                    I'm not a fan of oyster or cornbread stuffing. Or crawfish stuffing.

                      Made this last night and sneaked a few bites before I put in the egg...AMAZING! We'll cook it fully tomorrow, but even soggy it was awesome. Best I've had yet!
