She doesn't want a gourmet stuffing, just a non-snobby, traditionally Americana one. She food shops at Walmart and Shoppers because that's what she knows and likes. I'm choosing between Pepperidge Farm and Stove Top.
I love stuffing, it is my favorite thing at Thanksgiving. I'd be happy with either of these.
question for a stuffing lover : why? What is the point of stuffing? If you like the flavor, why not just eat gravy or turkey drippings or add seasoning to your food? Or if you like the bread part, why not just eat tastier bread like rolls or cornbread?
If you like smoothies, why not just eat raw fruit and vegetables out of hand?
If you like a grilled cheese sandwich, why not just eat plain bread, a piece of cheese, and then lick a bit of butter off a spoon?
Cooking or processing things together changes textures, changes flavors, melds flavors, creates something new. That's okay -- you don't have to like it. It's pretty clearly not the same thing, though.

Because stuffing is two great tastes that taste great together! Turkey drippings AND bread. All in one.

For anyone other than OP and their one guest (Stovetop is fine), this is a great recipe.
Oh, also make waffles from the leftovers. Yes, waffles. Just stick the stuffing in the maker and cook.
I'm making stuffing just to do this.

It is not.
Stuffing: in the bird.
Dressing: not in the bird.
This is a hill I will die on. Fight me.

Buy ready made op and make your life easier. Wegmans, Whole Foods etc all sell sides in catering.

Cube some bread and let it dry out overnight or lightly bake in oven to make it dried.
Sauté diced onion and celery with butter in until translucent.
Lightly toss together in a big bowl: the dried cubed bread, sautéed onions and celery, a few tablespoons melted butter, generous amount of fresh minced sage, salt and pepper, enough chicken/turkey broth is moisten everything but not too wet. Some people add a beaten egg to the broth. Bake covered with foil at 350 40 min, uncovered another 10 or until top gets a little crispy and browned (or can broil a couple min, but be careful).
Um. All dressing is a processed food. You literally describe the process to make it.
(And it’s “dressing” not “stuffing” unless you are actually stuffing it into the bird).
I am no fan of StoveTop and prefer to make my own from scratch, but mine is just as much a processed food as something that comes from the box. The boxed stuff does has high fructose corn syrup and preservatives, though. So maybe the word you were search for was “artificial” or “industrial” or “packaged” rather than “processed?”
We all eat processed food all the time. Bread is a processed food. Yogurt. Wine. Cheese. Pasta. All can’t be made without a process.

Pepperidge Farm is more for the elites and is better if you are going to put it in the turkey and bake it in the turkey.
Stovetop tastes better. I would not put the Stovetop in the turkey.
I've had both.
