Oh goodness. If only I could find a way to package the lessons I have learned over 32 years of marriage. I could sell them to young single men, get rich, and save them so much grief!

and chocolate dumplings.
Oooo! What's that?
Chocolate dumplings are a soft kind of chocolate biscuit-thing in chocolate sauce, served very warm. Gooey goodness Those and toutsiere (meat pie) were my grandmother's traditions, and they are too good not to continue.
Thanks Will. One of the most gratifying things for me is to see that the next generation of my family, my children and nieces and nephews, feel the same way about it.
I think the Europeans are more aware of the importance of shared meals than many Americans are. My son-in-law absolutely looks forward to our family gatherings and breaking bread with all the relatives. He's also taken over the BBQ function from me, and he's good at it. SCORE!!!!

I see that stuffing will be on many Thanksgiving tables. We usually
have dressing because I don't know how to get the stuffing hot enough to be safe and still have moist turkey. Is there a secret?

You can always baste the separate casserole dish of dressing. That's what I do.
But for stuffing the bird, how to do it per the FDA (at FDA.gov): QUOTE: If you choose to stuff your turkey, the ingredients can be prepared ahead of time; however, keep wet and dry ingredients separate. Chill all of the wet ingredients (butter/margarine, cooked celery and onions, broth, etc.). Mix wet and dry ingredients just before filling the turkey cavities. Fill the cavities loosely. Cook the turkey immediately. Use a food thermometer to make sure the center of the stuffing reaches a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 °F. END
e.t.a. But see Will's warning about this below.

Mary,
There's just no reliable way to cook "stuffing" inside a bird that doesn't risk bacterial contamination - I think most people use the term "stuffing" and "dressing" interchangeably nowadays.....
I cook mine in a separate ceramic dish in the oven, just to be safe.
But I cook it using homemade chicken stock to make it extra special!

Unfortunately, if the center of your turkey is reading 165 degrees, it's waaaay over cooked and it's gonna be really, really,dry. Which is fine if you meant to make turkey jerky.
Not so much for roast turkey however....
Cooking stuffing/dressing separately is the way to go.
