Food The Battle For Turkey 2016

This year I pardoned the turkey and smoked a pigs ass instead. Then I cooked a ham.
 
You should try the recipe I posted and then decide. The best part about it as that the whole thing can be made a day ahead of time. On the day, let it warm up to room temp and then throw it in the oven.

I've probably made at least six different types of dressing. It's by far the best I've ever made.
I cannot have the onion, but it isn't just the taste I don't care for. Then again out of 10 people not one requested dressing or stuffing. I think we've been without for 2 or more years now.

I never liked stuffing. In 44 years I never had stuffing I liked.

That was until last week when we went to a potluck Thanksgiving dinner at this church we been going to lately. Holy shit was that good. I met the guy who made it. Gonna ask him what all was in that stuff next time I'm there. Man, I never had stuffing like that. Sure as hell wasn't just some bullshit old bread.
 
Agreed.
However, I fucking love me some dressing.

I might agree but I'm not completely sure I know the difference?

Some folks use the terms interchangeably. Some have strict definitions. I just consider it "that other stuff that's not meat". :)

Stuffing is cubed and dry. Dressing is closer to a savory bread pudding.

Of the two, dressing is far superior.
 
... And both moist after cooking.
Negative.
If you cook stuffing inside the turkey, by the time it takes even a small-medium bird to reach safe temps you have dried the stuffing.
If you don't reach those temps, then the stuffing has been swimming in raw turkey juices.

Stuffing cooked inside a bird is an abomination and should not be.
 
I wouldn't take cooking advice from folks who make cinnamon twinkleberry "beer".
