Sometimes mushrooms, sometimes cranberries and/or apples, sometimes nuts, usually pecans if I use them, occassionally walnuts with the apples. I think I even added sausage one year, but not usually since we also have the meat stuffing. Grew up on the bread suffing in the bird, but not any more. Both are usually done as dressings now.
Yea, I call it dressing because it's not in the bird. In the bird is a traditional bread-type stuffing, add a little sausage or chopped bacon to the bread stuffing and I think the grease helps to moisturize the bird. That could be in my head though. A friend of mine weaves a bacon for the top of the turkey for last hour of cooking. I haven't tried that, but it sure looks good!
