Stuffing goes IN the bird
dressing goes ON the bird
that said if someone asked for dressing in my house, they most likly would get dressing for the salad, lol!

There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to this. I have strong New England roots and we have always called it dressing. Whatever the case, it is my absolute favorite. I would gladly skip the rest of the meal and have a plate full of dressing with gravy. Of course I probably would gain 5 lbs by the next day!

It is Stuffing, because that is what you do to the turkey cavities. You stuff them. Dressing is what I do when I put clothes on.

Some parts of this country it is called filling.

Another vote for stuffing when in the bird and dressing when in the pan. It's funny because it was the same recipe so I have no idea why we called it something different based on location. Stuffing/dressing was popular in our house so there was always an extra pan or two of it.

We've always called it stuffing, even though it's cooked outside of the bird.

@Bridgegal No, but I had a German grandma and she called it Filling so I imagine that's where it came from.

Neither, I do not like either stuffing or dressing, never liked it!

Call it whatever you want to call it, just don't use that gawd awful stuff that comes in a bag or box. LOL I make my stuffing/dressing with my grandmother's recipe and I think it's best cooked in the turkey but I make an additional pan of it to go with leftovers.
