Is it ok to eat the stuffing out of a turkey? because my family is not vegetarian and every year they put the stuffing inside the turkey and cook it then eat. This is my first year as a vegetarian, so i don't know what to do. I have already had to change so many normal things in our christmas dinner and i feel kind of left out and bad if i change this one as well. Is it ok to eat it or will it have the meat juices or something in it? even though it does gross me out a bit to have to.

You cn always ask your family to leave some stuffing out before they stuff the turkey and bake it seperately for you. I think it is up to you ultimately, but I would consider it non-vegetarian because it has turkey juices from it that seeped out of the turkey...

Couldn't you ask them to bake a little stuffing in a separate pan for you? The stuffing inside the turkey will absorb fat and blood, or "juice".
If you're just starting as a vegetarian, it's ok to indulge now and then, especially when you get no support during the holidays. Just do your best to eat vegetarian and when you stray, let it go and move on.
Most of us eat non vegetarian foods now and then, we just don't know about it until it's too late.

Please, for many years the older recipes called for turkeys were stuffed with the stuffing. If you are a vegetarian the Stuffing will be fine to be consumed that way you won't go in any way against changing to a vegetarian.

I never ate it from the turkey. My mom just put some of the stuffing in a baking dish and cooked it separate for me. Easy. Stuffing is vegan anyway, and tasted the same from the baking dish, plus the crunchy outer was really yummy too.

no it will have the juices from the turkey in it..... maybe you could stop the the grocery and get some stove-top stuffing. many of the larger grocery stores are open until 4pm today, or you could just skip the stuffing altogether.
Merry Christmas!!! And I mean Merry Christmas, not happy holidays!!

they do put turkey inside the stuffing, and it is kind of something that vegetarians would immediantly say no to, 'would you like this food that i pulled out of a dead turkeys butt?'

It will have meat juices in it, so not technically vegetarian. If you are just starting as veg, you might be gradually adjusting into it, so do what seems right to you.

Maybe they could put some of the stuffing in a casserole, so that you can eat.

No, because it will be full of turkey juice.
