Yeah, it’s fallen out of fashion because if you leave it there overnight especially bacteria can grow in it. Well, sorry to hear that. I like making homemade stuffing but I just bake it in a pan… i guess that’s called dressing.
Pick up a box on sale and put it in the cupboard. It’s a useful base for some chicken pieces, or to make some vegetables into a casserole. Excellent with mushrooms. (Take into account the liquid that will be released by the cooking veggies, or else saute them first, before mixing with the stuffing)
This year, instead of a whole bird, I made Turkey Balls using 2 lbs ground turkey, 2 raw eggs, stuffing mix, then sauteed onion, celery, apple, mushrooms, (let cool before adding) Chardonnay, and cool broth. I added the usual spices, keeping in mind there’s already some in the stuffing. I piled them in a lidded casserole, but you can also bake them on a sheet pan and serve with dips.
I made a bunch of stuffing not on Thanksgiving a few years ago. Was addicted to it and kept making it. But then ate it too often I got tired of it. This always happens to me though. I get excited about some food. Then I make it until I get tired of it and move on to the next thing.
Stuffing.
Every Thanksgiving I eat stuffing and remember:
and then i immediately forget
I love other people’s stuffing. I made stuffing and gave myself food poisoning.
By putting it inside a turkey or just somehow with stuffing?
Yeah, I put it inside the turkey. I used a friend’s recipe, but it must have been a bigger bird and took too long to cook or something.
Okay, I just Googled it:

When I make it rather than “mashed potatoes made of bread” it’s more like “slightly moist croutons”. Breaks my heart.

The turkey balls sound really good. Like a good way to get a whole Thanksgiving experience in a more compact package
Plus there’s the opportunity for jokes
