That's a bread stuffing. Is what most use is all.

I put rice in the neck so it bakes pretty (not collapsed) and then I have turkey rice.

My mother never did it.

I've had stuffing in the brid, once. It sucked.

I've never done it and I never will. I'd rather have Stove Top LOL

Yup!

According to RouxBe Cooking School stuffing "acts as insulation and makes cooking the turkey that much longer, creating dry breast meat. Hot air cannot get inside the turkey and can’t cook the meat closest to the bone, which is the area that takes the longest to cook."

Apparently, the RouxBe Cooking School doesn't know how to cook turkey.

I like rice, but when I'm eating stuffing it must be bread.

And corn bread stuffing sucks, too.

Dressing is the stuff that is made outside the bird. It's what you give to the people you don't like as much. Stuffing is what is made inside the bird. It's what you give to your favorite guests, because it's much better.

If you had shitty stuffing, it would have been shitty dressing, too.

I would love to have you, but I just did my Thanksgiving. I work on the real holiday. :( I don't like the idea of you just sitting at college.

Unless you're surrounded by chicks and drugs I suppose.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, let's skip past the turkey and talk about what everyone loves most - stuffing/dressing.

How do you do it?

I'll admit, until I started dating my wife, my entire experience with stuffing/dressing was Stove Top. I didn't mind, but now I know better. And for the last decade plus, I make mine homemade. Sometimes I use the pre-cubed (un-seasoned) bread, but mostly I'll make my own.

Mine is pretty basic. It's what Mrs. FMB's dad made, and what we like. I've made a few modifications, and I think mine's better, but it's still very basic.

I prefer to start by drying out the bread in the oven. Add some diced onion, celery, mushrooms, and minced garlic sauteed in butter, and toss with the bread. I'll season pretty aggressively with rosemary, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Then it all gets moistened with stock - I really try for homemade turkey stock, but sometimes I just use from the store. Bake it all up under foil, and then take the foil off and let the top get crispy.
