Synthie,
Thanks for your response. I called the Butterball hotline again,
and there were people there to answer my question. (I selected the
wrong option in the first place). She agreed with you that the turkey
was safe to eat, but she also said the stuffing should be all right as
long as the temperature reaches 165 degrees.
Thanks again for your response and happy holidays!
