I put dressing because I no longer stuff it into the bird, however I've grown up with calling it stuffing and even make Stove Top "Stuffing" so I guess I DO call it stuffing even though it's stove topped.

Dressing because I don't stuff it anywhere! I'm a Texan and so was my mama - we traditionally bake our dressing in a separate container or packed around the turkey not inside it.

I have always heard that in the South we call it stuffing and in the North they call it dressing.

Another vote from (originally) Dutch Country PA for Filling, even tho I've lived in AZ for 64 years!
Raised here calling it Filling, even made "Filling Balls" as a side dish for beef and pork, or darn near
anything! YUM!!!

As a kid, I grew up on the always popular Stove Top Stuffing because we were poor and it was cheap and easy. Note: It's called Stuffing, and not dressing.
I understand the difference between the stuffing into a bird versus baking it separate and serving it as dressing on the side, but even if it has sausage or lentils, cranberries or apples, or right out of a box, I will always refer to it as stuffing.

As a child my parents stuffed the turkey...so we called it stuffing. Roasted separately is still stuffing in my mind.

It's stuffing if you put it inside the turkey. It's dressing when you put it in a pan and cook it in the oven when the turkey is roasting. So what I call it depends on how it was cooked.

In Texas we never have stuffing, it is always dressing and my granny made the best. Sure do miss her.

When I was a kid it was stuffing because we "stuffed" the bird. Now it's dressing.

Both. Dressing in two inch balls baked till crisp on outside. Made with Italian sausage, bread, ground venison, spices. Rest stuffed into Turkey. Except this year just dressing.

Stuffing made on the inside (of the turkey). Dressing on the outside.
If I had a choice to choose both answers, I would of. Stuffing is what you put inside the turkey or chicken. Dressing is what you serve as a side dish.

DRESSING--cornbread!! I consider stuffing to be that gummy mixture made mostly from cubes of white bread. Don't like the texture. I'm a Texas girl.

We do both - in the turkey stuffing and a casserole dish for dressing. Both are so yummy.

I agree with Carrie S! And I use the heart and liver minced up in the stuffing. No one knows it is there and gives the stuffing a little something extra. :-). Happy Turkey Day everyone! Gobble Gobble Gobble!

Everyone I know in Texas calls it dressing.. I've had lots of both over the years, dressing and stuffing, and they have all been yummy.

If it is STUFFed in the turkey, then it is STUFFing. If it isn't, then it's dressing. Two different things to me.

We southern people call it dressing and make it in a pan. I finally have perfected my grandmother's version using a secret ingredient-cornflakes.
Dressing. And not one, but TWO different kinds. My husband makes his Nana's cornbread dressing. I make my grandma's traditional dressing. It's a competition, man.
