Tips
- A stuffed turkey will take a bit longer to cook. Always cook a stuffed turkey until the center of the stuffing registers 165 degrees F even if the turkey meat appears to be done before that. Let the turkey rest for 15 to 20 minutes before removing the stuffing.
- Make sure you refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours after cooking.
