Question: What’s the difference between “stuffing” and “dressing”?
Answer: According to Delish, dressing is stuffing that is cooked separately, so it isn’t stuffed into the carcass of the turkey. Southern Living concurs, but adds that Southerners typically refer to the dish as “dressing” while Northerners call it “stuffing.”
Bonus info: The U.S. Department of Agriculture doesn’t recommend stuffing your turkey because it can be a breeding ground for bacteria if not prepared carefully.
