My family has stuffed roasted turkeys for generations. Just have to
make sure you do not make the stuffing up in advance, make the
stuffing when you are going to use it. Stuff the bird tight, and
straight into the oven. Then check the temp of the stuffing like you
would a piece of meat. Done bird does not equal done stuffing.
