Well if you put it in the turkey, you need to cook it until it reaches
165degF (same as the breast). If you're just going to put it in a roasting
dish, it'll be ready whenever you decide they're crispy enough.
I like mine fairly crispy so I only use 1 egg to about 2-3 cups of crumbs,
and I put a spoon up the turkey's jacksie while it's cooking to transfer the
heat there.

As 'sf' said, it's very forgivable. If it's too mushy add more crumbs, if
you like it moist, add less, or chuck in some liquid (stock, butter, lemon
juice, etc.). Any reason you're not stuffing the turkey itself?
