And what's the "dressing" in your list?

Otherwise it seems like a reasonable list. I don't do more than that for our family of 4.

Are you serious? It is stuffing if it is stuffed inside the bird. It is dressing if it is made separately and served on the side.

Same!
Subtract turkey and gravy. Not necessary.
