They're almost interchangeable! Stuffing sometimes refers to dressing stuffed inside the turkey!
Plus dressing is what we put on top of a salad.
.

In NJ, stuffing goes into a turkey and dressing goes on top of a salad. Some parts of the country call what I call stuffing, Dressing. So, I guess it depends on where you live

When refering to bread stuffing/dressing the difference is where and how it is cooked. It can be made of the same ingredience but cooked in the bird it is stuffing, cooked in a casserole/baking dish it is dressing.

Stuffing and dressing are made the same way. The difference is stuffing is stuffed inside the turkey and baked with the turkey and dressing is just put in a pan and baked in the oven along side the turkey, not in it.
At least that is the way we do it here in
Texas..

Basically they are the same until cooked then they change. If cooked inside the bird it's stuffing, and if it is put in a dish and baked outside the bird it's dressing. I didn't use to get it but now I understand.

stuffing in bird dressing seperately

stuffing is refilling any bird to cook...and dressing is a kind of dip mostly for the salad

stuffing is like the stove top stuff you buy and dressing is made with mostly cornbread not white-bread.
