Keep suggestions coming.
P.S. Does anyone put giblets in the dressing/stuffing? I boiled them for years and added them, now I give them to the kitties and put cooked ahead chicken in the dressing/stuffing.

A holiday turkey with stuffing NOT cooked all day in the turkey with the natural juices flowing through it all day, unthinkable in our old Midwestern town. Funny how people from various locations do things ! Never put the giblets in the stuffing, dried bread, eggs, spices, celery were main ingredients, most families from our area have their own "secrets" to add like a bit of onion and even chopped cranberries and pecans ! Giblets are always boiled GENTLY in our family, so as not to get tough, and then diced to be added to the gravy, with some gravy reserved for the children who usually do not want giblets in theirs.
