Never.....

Yes,  we use raw eggs in the stuffing.  We cook ours both in the turkey and in a casserole dish.

[CalminHeart]

No eggs.

Depends on what kind of stuffing I am making!

Sausage, Wild Rice and dried Cherries with mushrooms & slivered almonds?

NO

But my gram made a bread stuffing that was like a dumpling you slice...YES it had eggs and was cooked in the bird.  She save and dried all the bread ends for a long time.  It was not made w/ croutons.  It was like a Bread Meatloaf almost.  Italian herbs and parm cheese.

We have not made traditional crouton stuffing in Years!  No one liked it but Dad

NO it didn't have eggs.

I'd love to know the REASON for incorporating eggs into bread stuffing, unless that was the original idea, like Yorkshire Pudding, and bread was added later.

I love stuffing made with dried fruit, but absolutely NO ONE ELSE that I know or love (or both) can stand fruit, so POOR ME.

That's really interesting, I've never heard of putting eggs in stuffing.

I use the bagged Pepperidge Farms stuffing mix (they have different varieties), I then add hamburger meat, celery, onions, sliced up apples, and bake it - I don't stuff a turkey cause we just get a butterball turkey breast.

In the South, this would be considered Dressing and most of the time cooked in a separate casserole dish and not stuffed in the bird.  However, I have stuffed the bird as well.  As to the question, yes raw eggs would be added to your already cooked cornbread, celery, onions, garlic, butter, eggs, poultry stock (Imake my own with chicken, fresh tyme, rosemary, marjarom, sage), seasoning such as poultry seasoning, salt and pepper, and I also place the cooked chicken in a middle layer of the dressing that I used to make my stock which helps keeps the dressing moist after cooking.  Your dressing should be moist enough to spoon out of the casserole and not cut from the casserole and should be lightly brown on top and cooked at 400 degrees.  My grandmother and mother made their dressing this way and now my children also make their dressing this way.  Try it and you will not be disappointed.  I taste after mixing to make sure I have the seasoning seasoned well and I like the wet mixture to not be a lot of liqued, but about the consistancey of cooked oatmeal or polenta prior to cooking, please know that the seasoning will get stronger during cooking and  I do make a day ahead as this is time consuming to prepare but so worth it!  May peace and love always be in your life and God Bless!

NO !

I thought the purpose of eggs was to bind whatever together.  Like meatloaf.  Fortunately this is never a problem for me.  DH loves Stovetop stuffing and going to the trouble of making homemade would be a waste of time.  He is pretty set in his ways and hates it when I try new food ideas.

I always put raw eggs in my stuffing.  It keeps it moist.
