Yes, that website says:

"Never, ever defrost a frozen stuffed turkey. The interaction
of the thawing stuffing with the turkey meat causes bacteria
to form, so the cooking process, which destroys the bacteria,
needs to be started immediately."

Sounds like both the turkey and the stuffing need to be
tossed. What a shame! You really screwed up! :-)
