For Thanksgiving, will you be cooking a whole turkey or a turkey breast? Do you bake the stuffing inside either of them or do you bake it separately?

Re: Your Turkey and Stuffing

I bake a whole turkey with the stuffing inside. If there's extra stuffing that doesn't fit in the bird I'll put it in a baking dish, cover it with foil, and bake it separately.

Re: Your Turkey and Stuffing

I make a whole turkey.

I always make the stuffing in a separate casserole.

whole turkey with the dressing baked in another roaster, but a lot of the turkey juices and stock from simmering the "insides" (neck, giblets, etc....) are added to the dressing while it is roasting.

Re: Your Turkey and Stuffing

I always do a whole, fresh turkey.

I don't put the dressing inside. That always kind of grossed me out - just thinking of all that turkey blood running through it and how it looks spilling out of there. I'm just too food-neurotic for that. Smiley Happy I put it into a casserole dish (my old Corning Ware French White 2.5qt one, of course. hehe).

I'm doing a whole turkey. I never stuff the bird.

Get your flu shot...because I didn't.

Re: Your Turkey and Stuffing

Here is what we are doing. I am a vegetarian. I have purchased frozen turkey and gravy.I also hate to cook!! I will make mashed potatoes, green bean casserole for DH (Green Giant makes a delicious frozen one). I will eat plain green beans. Maybe I will bake bread.Think there is some frozen cake in the downstairs freezer. There will be just the 2 of us-which we like. Wouldn't turn any one away, but we are loners. And that is our TG menu.

I forgot about the stuffing. It will be the boxed kind.

I roast a whole turkey in the oven and my stuffing in the crockpot.

We do a whole turkey in the fryer, and a breast in the oven with dressing on the side. Yummy!
