omg I lost the stuffing :(

Mom came by this evening with Turkey Day leftovers for me. She’s the best!

I set the bag on the counter because I planned to have a bowl after our visit. Inside was a big container of turkey, a jam jar of cranberry sauce (the canned type because hell yeah), a soup container of her awesome homemade gravy, and a smaller, take-out container of stuffing. Or so I thought…

The smaller container had the turkey legs in it.

A quick phone call confirmed the stuffing container fell out of the bag on her ride over here and was under the drivers seat. Arrrgh!!

I have to pass kind of near their house tomorrow on the way to the pharmacy so will swing by to pick it up. All is not lost.

Stuffing, especially Mom’s, is the BEST!

Happy Thanksgiving, DU fam.

I LOVE a bread, sage, onion, celery type stuffing! 🥰😄 Sage has to be included. And obviously I like "soggy" bread as one of our posters calls it.

The best thing about Thanksgiving is a bowl of leftover stuffing, shredded turkey, gravy, and a healthy dollop of cranberry sauce. Emphasis on the stuffing! We do it the bird so it soaks up all that turkey "juice" goodness.

Second best is turkey sandwiches.

Well, I guess the best, best thing is all the thankfulness and gratitude and whatnot, but the stuffing is a very close second.

I actually use poultry seasoning, but sage is the main component.

No, not really. But next to the turkery itself, STUFFING IS KING!!!!

Everything else was good, but I would have been happy with just the stuffing. I think I've made it twice myself, but not sure I could find her recipe now. For me, anything else is a poor substitute.

Maybe
We had a nice traditional Thanksgiving dinner at my daughter's yesterday and she sent leftovers home with me. But something didn't agree with me and I felt upset all day. I'll need to plan my food carefully.
