I make it on the side, I used to stuff the bird but not anymore.

I stuff the turkey. I Don't add liquid though. Instead, I fry my bread cubes in olive oil, toss in a large diced onion, a bunch of chopped parsley, and slivered almonds; season with sage, thyme, allspice, salt & pepper. No celery - makes it too wet. The main flavor is sage. It's the same recipe that my grandmother (who would be 120 years old - wow!) and her mother made. To know I'm making the Same dressing as the women before me can get me teary eyed.

Are You My Sister by any chance, she would have done the same thing.....

Want to adopt me??I would love to be your sister.That made me chuckle.

I make home made dressing as a caserole dish. I have my own secret recipe that I just guessed at it about 30 plus years ago and everybody likes it.

I stuff my turkey. I love stuffing an all year long if I stuff a bird I make all different kinds of stuffing. Apple/raisin, cranberry/orange, or sausage. However for Thanksgiving I like a plain old fashioned cornbread stuffing. I make the cornbread the day before when it is cool I cut it into cubes and let it sit out to dry. I also make a loaf of white bread and do the same thing. In the morning I chop onion and celery and saute in butter and oil until golden brown. I add chicken broth, seasoning and then the breads. I toss until just coated and moist. Then in the turkey it goes. YUMMMOOOO.

What do you do??????

I come to your house!!!!!

Yum, Trupeach! I guess I've never had stuffing. We are a dressing family and my grandmother makes the largest (I guess it's in some kind of a roasting pan??) container I have ever seen every year. We've never deviated from The Dressing. For the longest time it was the only leftover I liked (now I love 'em). Your stuffings sounds wonderful!

How much stuffing fits in a turkey?

I make stuffing like my mom did-bread crumbs from just about anything except cornbread, lots of onions and celery sauted in butter, and broth. I do it in a pan, with or without a turkey!

My Mom makes it both ways- stuffs the turkey, then makes another kind in a casserole. I'm getting awfully hungry right now everyone!! hee hee
