Hey...
do you put eggs in your stuffing as a binder? Do you cook your stuffing inside or outside the turkey?
I'm cooking by the way. I know because I just blew through an entire pound of butter and I've got a pumpkin cheesecake cooling on the counter and if I wasn't cooking, neither one of those things would be possible.

outside= safer
I'm of no help to you. Neither would be MomH. My restaurateur uncle does Thanksgiving so there hasn't been a turkey cooked in our house.
Except for a few years ago when Brother Ray shot a wild turkey and asked MomH to cook it. She left it in the oven too long and it dried up into a withered, pathetic carcass, legs sticking straight out to the sides in an almost obscene pose.
So yeah, we can't help you.
no eggs...outside is safer...and over the past two days I have blown through 4 pounds of butter, 3 cartons of eggs and a half a gallon of heavy cream.. I can feel my thighs expanding as I type this..
Technically, a dressing is cooked outside the bird in a separate dish while a stuffing is cooked inside.
No eggs, no. We usually make a cornbread and sausage stuffing and broth moistens well for that.
You ARE funny.
And what is with the "no egg" as a binder deal with all your friends? I guess it's just a "Southern" thing. I DO put an egg in as a binder and I cook my dressing separate from the turkey. I use the drippings in the dressing. I just don't shove it inside the bird to get it.
Plus being from the South, my dressing is made from cornbread.
It takes all kinds. You just find what works best for YOUR family. . . and stick with it.
