25 Stuffing and Dressing Recipes for your Thanksgiving Table

First there was turkey (okay, technically the pie was first)...then was gravy...what comes next on the Thanksgiving table? Stuffing of course! Or do you call it dressing? Again, if I'm being technical, stuffing is stuffed (duh) inside the bird and dressing is baked on the side. My personal preference is dressing because I like some crispy bits on the top and edges—but I still call it stuffing.

Growing up a carbaholic, I've always loved bread stuffing; all sorts of bread. Cornbread, sourdough, rye, croissants, cinnamon bread, or better yet, a combination. I don't mind having a wild rice or grain stuffing on the table...as long as there's still a bread stuffing next to it.

I hope you enjoy this selection of stuffing recipes and find some inspiration for your own Thanksgiving table this year!
