Celebrity chef Ina Garten recommends cooking stuffing and turkey separately to avoid overcooked meat. This allows for better control of the doneness of both dishes and results in crispier stuffing. The term “stuffing” is typically used in the northern U.S., while “dressing” is preferred in the South and Midwest.
Incorporating fruit into salad adds flavor and visual appeal, but too much moisture can ruin the texture. To avoid soggy salads, drain excess juice from fruits like oranges and pomegranates. Add fresh berries when they’re completely dry. It’s best to add fruit right before consumption to keep it fresh. Consider using dried fruit, freeze-dried fruit, or fruit-infused dressings to add flavor without compromising texture.
