What is "stuffing"?

Stuffing, also known as dressing, is a savory mixture of ingredients used to fill poultry, meat, or vegetables. It typically consists of breadcrumbs, herbs, spices, diced vegetables, and sometimes meat or nuts. The stuffing is prepared separately and then cooked inside the main dish, absorbing its flavors and adding a deliciously moist and flavorful element to the dish. Whether it's traditional Thanksgiving stuffing or a flavorful stuffing for a roast chicken, this versatile ingredient adds depth and richness to a variety of dishes.
