Not really "stuffing" if it isn't "stuffing" something ...
For several years we had the family over to our house for Thanksgiving. I never cooked a whole turkey -- I cooked a turkey breast in a very large crock pot (it will hold a 7.25 pound thawed turkey breast).
I cooked sweet potatoes in the merely large crock pot, whole green beans (on end) in a medium crock pot and hot dip in a small crock pot. The three big ones would go all night hooked up to a power strip. The dip in the small one only needed a few hours.
We did "stuffing" in a baking dish and several other vegetables on the stove or in the oven, but the crock pots handled the bulk of the job very nicely ... and saved a little bit of the work.
When I was a kid (late 50s, early '60s -ish) you could really only get turkeys from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Turkey became a common, year-round item in the '70s, if I recall correctly.
