When it comes to preparing Thanksgiving dinner, there is one debate that has been going on for decades: stuffing or dressing. With so many different families having their own unique recipes, it can be hard to tell the difference between the two dishes. But what exactly sets these two dishes apart?
Let's take a look at the history behind these beloved holiday sides and find out which one reigns supreme! What’s the stuffing or dressing difference? It’s time to find out.
Stuffing is a dish made with bread (usually stale), herbs, and spices. It is traditionally cooked inside of a turkey or chicken but can also be cooked in a separate dish (known as dressing).
Stuffing dates back to Ancient Roman times when slaves would stuff birds with grains and herbs before roasting them over open fires. This classic dish has since evolved into many variations depending on regional tastes and the ingredients available.

Dressing is similar to stuffing but typically has a lighter texture due to its use of cubed bread instead of stale breadcrumbs. This side dish originated in the South where cooks would bake it separately from the bird they were serving.
Common ingredients in dressing include celery, onion, garlic, bell peppers, and sage. While some consider dressing and stuffing one and the same, others feel that dressing has its own distinct flavor profile that sets it apart from traditional stuffing recipes.
