I have always put the stuffing in the turkey and baked it that
way. All my life. Any stuffing that didn't fit in the turkey was
baked separately.
However, we learned a good the best way to slice and serve a
turkey and we're actually going to cut the parts off the turkey
first and then bake. The cooking time is greatly reduced and the
white and dark meat both get the time they need. The dark meat
needs to cook longer.
The method for cutting a turkey is similar to the way we'll be
cutting it before baking, so the slicing and serving should be
easy.
We got all this from Chef Jean Pierre on youtube. He's got a lot
of videos about Thanksgiving dishes. Highly recommend

I grew up with stuffing cooked in the bird, but now we have
stuffing in the slow cooker. I once got terribly ill from
improperly cooked/handled stuffing (not on Thanksgiving, I
ordered a stuffed bird at a restaurant) and that's not something
I want to go through again. I ended up on an antibiotic that
gave me double vision, and when I called to tell the doctor
about the side effect, she told me to keep on taking it, because
I needed something that strong.

Outside for decades now. I actually like my stuffing to get
slightly crispy anyway.

I dug out the recipe for the pear and cranberries I知 making.
I壇 forgotten all about the candied ginger. I tossed out the
small amount I had when we moved. If I知 ambitious enough I値l
walk over to Whole Foods to see if they have it. Otherwise I値l
sub ground ginger. But I知 not driving to one of my usual stores
today and face those hordes.
I did check on delivery and to have it here today would cost me
$17. Nope.

That sounds very frightening! The restaurant should have known
better. It is essential to make sure stuffing inside a bird
cavity reaches the correct temperature. I google it every year
and test to make sure mine is safe.
And Queenie is correct that getting it to that temperature
generally means the breast is overcooked. Cooking the turkey
upside down helps keep it moist, but even so I overcook my
turkeys, intentionally, because we only like very well done
poultry. I know most people do not.

As for inside vs outside the bird, always outside. I like a bit
of a crispy top, it doesn't interfere with cooking the bird, and
it means our vegetarian guests can enjoy it.

This is the mashed potato recipe I use (without the rosemary or
garlic, because those flavors would fight with the gravy). I
also substitute plant-based milk, cream and butter so my
dairy-allergic kid can enjoy them.

They are smooth and decadent!

I always cook the stuffing outside of the turkey when we do
turkey because we all got sick from stuffing at someone else's
home one year. It isn't an experience that I'd care to repeat!
Just knowing how busy things get, and the issue of improperly
cooked stuffing with turkey juices dripping into it, prudence
seems like the best call for me personally. :)
Last night's discussion was not good. :(

I am craving noodles for my Thanksgiving meal. Vegan Filipino
pancit will scratch that itch. :)
I don't miss the ex boyfriend, but I do miss his
Filipino-American family. A giant bowl of pancit was a must at
any family feast along with a large platter of homemade lumpia.
I will make several substitutions (tofu instead of pork,
vegetable stock instead of chicken stock, garlic infused oil
instead of fresh garlic, extra green onion tops instead of
yellow onion, tamari sauce instead of soy sauce, and I am adding
oyster mushrooms). Simple and delicious!

It sound delicious except for the noodles. Would it be good over
rice? I壇 think so.

I just put two punkin pies in the oven to bake so I can happily
eat pie for breakfast
and any ol' time through the weekend, maybe longer.
Tomorrow I'll roast a small pork tenderloin with herbed potatoes
and brussels sprouts. Solo feast day this year.

The ratio of 2 pies/1 person seems about right to me.
Also, your menu sounds delicious! As does Thetis' noodle dish.
Clearly I am hungry.
