If you bake one up during Thanksgiving Holiday, share your favorite ways
of doing it...

I am having Duck dinner this Thanksgiving, but if I was stuffing a Turkey, I prefer and love
Giblets dressing/stuffing....celery, onions, chicken broth, bread cubes, salt and pepper, I like
it moist, and with tiny bits of apple. Blend, simmer and season it all up, Turkey time!

Moist is good, I could not agree more!
What about Turducken? Have you ever tried it or do you have any interest in that?
 
Do not stuff with dressing as its too much of a risk for disease. I do put an onion and a cut up apple inside it. Dressing is baked by itself with an extra one frozen for Christmas dinner. We have seafood gumbo for Christmas but I like some dressing also .
 
I don't think I've ever cooked a turkey. I'm not a turkey fan (except for Jenny O turkey burgers), so even when I'm invited for Thanksgiving dinner, if another meat or fish is on the menu, I choose that. One year my niece's husband made the best fish ever. I think it was perch or bass, can't remember which.
 
Two different types of stuffing in one bird. Traditional stuffing and a sausage meat stuffing as well. Sometimes we skip the turkey and do a ham roast, with a honey and hot mustard glaze, and a crown of whole cloves on the outside, with cheddar cheese scalloped potatoes, hubbard squash, turnips, and a cabbage salad. Desert of butter tarts, with walnuts in them. Wine and or coffee to finish. JImB.

Putting stuffing inside the turkey was not very common in our area when I was growing up. In think for practical reasons - hard to get enough stuffing inside a turkey to feed a large family. Then, as now, we have a large pan of cornbread stuffing as a side. And a large pot of giblet gravy.

Have done it both ways over the years, but I prefer stuffing as a side.

It is the same here.
 
I have not made a full turkey dinner in years, but I always used mom's recipe.

Bread, of course
celery
turkey giblets, cut up
A link of Italian sausage...pulled out of the casing
sage (makes quite the difference, first time I made it, forgot this and tasted the difference)
Mix all up, and into the bird's butt it goes

We always had two kinds of dressing: regular bread dressing and oyster dressing. Oyster for those of us who wouldn't have it any other way. Regular for the rest of the gang who would have probably loved the oyster dressing if they didn't know what was in it.

I did make chestnut dressing one year but decided it wasn't enough better than the regular dressing to justify the extra work.
