Could you make the stuffing normally and bake it, not inside the turkey,
but in a pan on the side? Call it a dressing. That way the allergic
person just skips that one dish and can enjoy the turkey. There is
generally so much good stuff at a Thanksgiving table that skipping one
or two dishes for health reasons shouldn't be too terrible. Or ask the
allergic person if s/he has a favorite recipe. I've heard of asofetida
as an onion substitute, but I really can't picture it.
