stuffing: cooked inside or outside of the bird?

Stever, I am coming up with anything I can here!

I cook it outside the bird because it is much easier and I am lazy.

  • outside- so it's not a glob of soft mush. and pretty plain tyvm. :)

  • I am a firm believer of "dressing" rather than "stuffing".. so outside.  With such a big bird, it would take too long for everything to get up to temperature and I really don't want to make people sick with e-coli.

    Instead, I'm going to stuff it with Alton Brown's aromatics... apple, onion, herbs, etc.

    Now if I was doing a 10-12 lb bird, I'd consider it.

    Oooooh, do it!! We've done it with a 20lb+ bird and it is to die for! Yeah, dressing is a million times better than stuffing. From scratch, TYVM. I have a recipe for Chicken Apple dressing and Savory, did both last year, no leftovers at all.

    Oh, I like the glob of soft mush.  I'll probably do both.

  • outside!  I'm actually doing stuffing muffins to get more of the crispy part.  Plus the cavity of the bird is being stuff with some aromatics -- apple, onion, cinnamon stick, rosemary and sage.  Yum!!

    ETA:  Bridebuddies, I'm doing alton brown's recipe too!  LOL!  Lady at Penzey's Spice Shop said she's been doing it for the past 6 years and won't do it any other way now.

    Does Penzeys have fresh herbs?  I ended up at Sunflower to get my fresh stuff, but never thought to go there instead.

    Did the Alton thing last year and it was awesome.  This year I'm combining it with a little America's Test Kitchen "barding.".... found me some salt pork at Walmart!

  • Outside because my mom stuffs the turkey with her stuffing which no one likes other than my brother.  My dressing is way yummier.

  • Both, but I love the muffin idea, I think I may have to try that next year
