National Stuffing Day Date in the current year: November 21, 2024

Stuffing is an edible substance or mixture used to fill a cavity in another food item. Many foods can be stuffed such as poultry, fish, pork chops, different types of vegetables, and eggs. Stuffed turkey or goose is a traditional holiday dish served as dinner on Thanksgiving day and Christmas Eve.

The traditional turkey stuffing is usually made of dried bread with celery, onion, salt, pepper, and spices and herbs. However, there are many other varieties that might include various ingredients providing original shades of taste.
