How to Stuff a Turkey

The best way to prepare dressing is to bake it separately in a greased, covered casserole during the last hour while the turkey roasts.

If you decide to stuff the turkey, use these tips for a safe, delicious side dish:

• Stuff the turkey just before roasting.
• Stuff the body and neck cavity loosely.
• Allow about ¾ cup of stuffing per pound of turkey. Bake extra stuffing separately.
• Stuffing should be cooked to 165°F.
