Notes
- Stuffing should be inserted into turkey neck and cavities only when you are ready to begin roasting the turkey. Never stuff the turkey ahead of time, as bacteria may grow.
- Alternately, scoop mixture into a lightly-buttered baking dish. Cover with foil and bake in a 350F degree oven for 40 minutes. Uncover and cook 20 minutes more, until dressing is crisp on top and dressing temperature reaches 160F degrees.
