Yes, those that cook it inside a turkey stuff the raw stuff into it's butt cavity claiming it's more flavorful. I've had it stuffed into the bird and honestly _I_ could not discern it to be more flavorful than dressing cooked in a separate dish. There have been instances of people getting food poisoning from undercooked 'stuffing' that's been stuffed into a bird. And you don't get nearly as much to enjoy as opposed to it being cooked in a separate dish.

And I'm not fond of bread stuffing/dressing; too mushy and/or gummy. My preference is for cornbread dressing that has onions, celery, salt & pepper, sage and turkey drippings or chicken broth added. Also a couple of beaten eggs go into this dish to serve as a binder. (I also use melted butter and sometimes a dash or two of poultry seasoning.)
