Well, Texans.

A lot of it is regional. Oysters in Maryland and Tidewater Virginia. Sauerkraut in Baltimore. Cornbread in the South.

I know it's a matter of taste so if you like it, great! I guess I just like plain jane stuffing, cooked in the bird, so I'm not understanding the binder stuff.
You can't taste one or two beaten eggs in a few pounds of stuffing. In my family we can't put the stuffing in the bird because a couple of people have Celiac's Disease. Putting the stuffing in the bird would make them very sick. Additionally some of us with large families need to cook more stuffing than will fit in a large turkey.

I haven't stuffed a bird in many years. I don't find it worth the trouble and the fact that it makes the bird take longer to cook and be more likely to be overcooked.
I don't like it stuffed in the bird, either. I think it tends to dry the bird out, too.

Someone must’ve hated their stuffing for Thanksgiving... .

Anyway stuffing/dressing, for me, “stuffing†(for the Turkey) is whole peeled onions. “Dressing†(that isn’t for salad) is bread crumbs/cubes with chicken broth/stock, gizzards, onion and sausage. Works for me!

All of my recipes used have had eggs as a binder - no complaints yet.

Tarnation!

I chop up and saute onions and celery for added flavor and a little crunch, but I've seen all sorts of craziness like dried fruit and proteins...plumb loco if you ask me.

I never use eggs, as a binder i find the butter i fry the onions in serves that purpose.
Ingredients for my stuffing goes something like this \=
Loaf of bread usually rye cubed.
Couple of carrots and celery stalks shredded.
a goodly amount of sage
usually a handfull of dried cranberries, \
in a frying pan heat up onions and turkey liver and fry in lots of butter,
then add the butter onions and liver to bread mixture and when cool enough knead into a ball and put the whole thing in a bread pan cover with bacon strips and cook for 45 minutes or until the bacon is crispy,
at some point i'll add salt and pepper.
every one loves it.

I give up on stuffing, I cant make it!!! I have no clue what I did to only make it partially edible this year.
I've used eggs like granny, no eggs this year and it's still this glob of a mess.


I've found two food arch enemies in my life.. Stuffing and Pie crust. For now on I'll order my stuffing or use stove top..

my sister in law puts spiced apples and sausage , chicken broth , lots of butter real butter ,no celery , no eggs , no nuts but lots of sage , paprika , brown sugar and chives and believe it or not it is delicious . Her husband my youngest brother loves it that way . My s.i.l. is polish and she said in Poland this is the normal for a poultry item . I have tried it and although not my thing it is good . My husband of course who is one of the pickiest eaters I have ever known does not like it . His mother only cooked with salt and pepper they were real country hillbillies and she saw me put sage and cilantro on a dish one time and she was shocked that I would use "high cost spices " like that .l kid you not .
