My mom's stuffing, whether in or out of the bird is really simple - made with white bread, breadcrumbs, bits of turkey (she cooks up the giblets), and juice from the turkey as it's cooking. She no longer stuffs the bird because A. it takes longer to cook and B. that can lead to salmonella poisoning (the juices INSIDE the bird don't reach as high a temperature).
Oh, gosh, I just love Thanksgiving. Aside from my bday being around Turkey day (my 10th, 16th, 21st birthdays and one in my 30s were ON Thanksgiving!!), I am a turkey fiend.
Due to my medical issues, I often don't have much of an appetite and/or have issues eating too much at a time, so I usually spend my appetite as follows: 75% turkey, 15% stuffing, corn, taters, veggies, and 10% on coffee and a small dessert like a cookie or brownie afterwards. (Not a fan of pies and pastries.)
Yum. Yum yum yum!!!
