Stuffing. In the bird.

"Stove Top" does NOT qualify, either.

Stuffing, in the bird. Only reason for it not to be is if you make too much.

I've been using Mrs. Cubbison's for years. They have both stuffing, and dressing. The ingredients lists look the same to me. I've asked several people the difference and have never received a good answer. I do stuff the bird, so I get the "stuffing" (I like the "herb seasoned (cube style)" the best, which for some reason is harder to find.

Anyway, the answer to the question of the difference is here.

dressing, we don't stuff the bird.

Stove Top is disgusting!

Dressing is for salads...or cutting open a deer and gutting it. I've never heard stuffing referred to as dressing.

from Mrs. Cubbison's site.

Stuffing and dressing are interchangeable terms. Stuffing is the older word, dating back from the middle of the 16th-century, when it replaced the term forcemeat, which came from the French verb farcir (to stuff). Dressing became popular in Victorian times, when the notion of stuffing didn't sound mannerly. Today, stuffing is used more in the Eastern and Southern states, while dressing is the accepted term in the West.

Filling.

Not in the bird. Made with mashed potatoes, celery, onion, large breadcrumbs, egg, butter, and seasonings. I believe it's PA Dutch.

    "If you mix stuffing a day ahead, pre-mix only the dry ingredients.

    Mixing moist ingredients ahead of time offers the opportunity for bacteria to grow.

    It is safer to cook stuffing separately.

    However, if you do stuff the bird, do so just before cooking it. Stuff it loosely so the stuffing cooks thoroughly."

The FDA says:

    # For optimum safety, stuffing a turkey is not recommended. For more even cooking, it is recommended you cook your stuffing outside the bird in a casserole. Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of the stuffing. The stuffing must reach a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 °F.

    # If you choose to stuff your turkey, the ingredients can be prepared ahead of time; however, keep wet and dry ingredients separate. Chill all of the wet ingredients (butter/margarine, cooked celery and onions, broth, etc.). Mix wet and dry ingredients just before filling the turkey cavities. Fill the cavities loosely. Cook the turkey immediately. Use a food thermometer to make sure the center of the stuffing reaches a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 °F.

IMNHO, cooking a turkey so that stuffing inside the bird reaches 165° means that the rest of the bird will be dried out.

I prefer to stuff 'em as they're dressing.

Stuffing - made with bread cubes/pieces.
Dressing - made with cornbread cubes/pieces.
Filling - made with bread cubes/crumbs and mashed/finely grated potatoes.


We are having bread stuffing with the bird. But with other meats, sometimes it's cornbread dressing, other times potato filling. And the dressing and filling are made in casseroles, sometimes stuffed on pork chop pockets. A crownroast of pork or lamb is also good with dressing or filling in the center.


Pyeed to add crownroast.

stuffing.

The 'rents make it in the pan - less worry about cooking time, and easier.

We do cornbread dressing. In a pan.
