Ever wonder what the difference is between stuffing and dressing? Traditionally, stuffing is cooked inside the turkey, while dressing is baked in a separate dish. But we don’t care what you call it because it’s delicious, and Thanksgiving just isn’t complete without this side dish.
These Thanksgiving stuffing and dressing recipes feature classic bread-based versions, ones with sausage, cornbread, herbs, and more. While Mom’s classic recipe is always loved, this year, why not try a twist? These Thanksgiving stuffing recipes and dressing recipes will have you coming back for seconds and thirds.
