It’s mediocre because most people never try to cook any of it outside of Thanksgiving and don’t experiment with the recipes because they’re trying to cook a bunch of dishes and don’t want to mess them up.
Turkey is good when it’s not overcooked and underseasoned. Mashed potatoes are good when they’re not gummy from not having the extra starch rinsed off or chunky from being undercooked. Stuffing is good when it’s not shoved into a turkey cavity or soggy from sitting in drippings and has ingredients in it besides bread.
I agree with everything you said but the stuffing, I prefer mine prepared in the bird but I make another batch cooked on its own for those who don’t like it.
Cooking the stuffing in the bird is risky. You may already know that, since it sounds kind you have been doing it that way a long time. However, many don’t understand the risks, chief among them is overcooking the turkey.
Thanksgiving food is surprisingly mediocre. Seems like it was designed by the British.
I’m sorry you haven’t experienced good Thanksgiving food.
…me too
However, there is a lot of super good thanksgiving food
I feel like the whole point of it is to not vary

And bacteria too I guess… https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/safe-food-handling-and-preparation/poultry/stuffing-and-food-safety
It’s also a good idea to soak the turkey in brine and ice before cooking
Try going to New Orleans next year for TG. They know how to do it right.
