10 Thanksgiving Stuffing Recipes

Thanksgiving wouldn’t be complete with out the Thanksgiving stuffing! Here are some of the BEST Thanksgiving Stuffing Recipes to wow your guests at Thanksgiving!

First, let’s get the whole stuffing vs dressing thing out of the way.  Basically the two terms are interchangeable, while stuffing is usually stuffed inside the turkey and baked (hence the name) it can be cooked separately and vice versa for dressing.  It really just boils down to where you were raised.  As a born and raised Marylander it’s stuffing for me, Kat is a southern girl so she calls it dressing. No matter what you call it I think we can all agree that no Thanksgiving is complete without it, so I’ve rounded up 10 amazing looking thanksgiving stuffing recipes, who knows maybe I’ll try something different this year!
