We collected some of our favorite stuffing recipes to help you have the most delicious Thanksgiving meal possible!
Some elements of a Thanksgiving meal are negotiable. I grew up with corn pudding on the holiday table, but I’m guessing you didn’t. And my meal lacked mac & cheese, which feels criminal now. But I think we can all agree that stuffing recipes are among the most important part of the Thanksgiving canon, right?
Or at least, dressing — here’s a quick explainer on the difference between dressing and stuffing.
Whether you’re making stuffing straight from the box or entirely from scratch, we’ve got a recipe for you that will complete your holiday meal.
Check out these 6 different stuffing recipes, offering you a wide range of influences and styles and meeting different dietary needs. As far as I’m concerned, larger Turkey Day gatherings would ideally have two different dressing or stuffing options as part of the spread to satisfy your guests’ distinct needs and palates — and giving you a little bit of everything as well.
If it were up to me (and it’s not, because we fortunately don’t host the Thanksgiving meal for our family), I’d pick the first two recipes.

Pepperidge Farm Stuffing

Cauliflower rice stuffing is a delicious low-carb alternative this holiday season! This veggie-packed wonder comes together in minutes.
Crunchy carrots, zesty onions, and crunchy celery mish-mash together with tender-crisp cauliflower and simmer in a pool of salty broth and herby, earthy spices to create the flavor profile that your mouth expects when you promise to fill it with stuffing.
