  I wouldn't agree more w/ the comment (posted by habanero)/ yeah enjoy food while you can - just for one day, stuff yourself then worry about burning off the calories the following day/week!! oh then do the same for christmas : )

  The main joys of Thanksgiving is to be with your family and be able to eat because you cooked like you havent all year long! Enjoy!

  This is why women are so screwed up, we take the one day of friends, family, and food and ruin by being calorie cops. If you are that worried about calories then workout an extra 15 min. each day or skip the snacks for a week. Thanksgiving comes once a year. ENJOY IT!!!!

  Do people really put sausage in stuffing? I've never heard of that. My mom used her mom's recipe which just toasted bread, all torn up and thrown in a bowl with chopped onion, celery, salt, pepper, and I think butter. I've never made it myself, so there might be another ingredient. My husband's family makes oyster stuffing.

  I would think just keeping the sausage out would make the stuffing less fatty.

  i found out the other day that if you buy a frozen turkey does not matter how you cook it is loaded with salt because to keep it frozen they have to put lots of salt they recommend that 3 hours after you eat the turkey to drink a protein shake so you don't let all that food turn into fat ,that is for people that think healthy i personally plan to eat whatever is once a year enjoy
