Stuffing is a celebration of flavors and textures, a medley of bread bound together with fragrant herbs, aromatic vegetables and savory flavors. Actually stuffing it inside the turkey allows the porous stuffing cubes to soak in all those delicious roasted turkey juices. Not to mention that stuffed turkey kills two birds with one stone, so to speak, freeing up the oven for other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/favorite-thanksgiving-sides\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/favorite-thanksgiving-sides\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Thanksgiving side dishes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, for years, I kept the stuffing separate from the turkey. I thought stuffed turkey wasn&#8217;t safe to make or the meat would turn out dry and overcooked. When I finally decided to cook a classic stuffed turkey recipe, I realized there was nothing to fear. The dish turned out just as good as a traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/seasoned-roast-turkey\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/seasoned-roast-turkey\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">roast turkey<\/a>, so long as I paid attention to a few temperature-related details.<\/p>\n<h2>Is it safe to cook a stuffed turkey?<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s perfectly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cooking-stuffing-in-a-turkey-can-be-dangerous-heres-why\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cooking-stuffing-in-a-turkey-can-be-dangerous-heres-why\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">safe to cook a stuffed turkey<\/a> as long as the stuffing reaches an internal temperature of 165\u00b0F. According to the USDA, poultry like chicken and turkey must reach this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/food-safe-cooking-temperatures\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/food-safe-cooking-temperatures\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">food-safe cooking temperature<\/a> to destroy bacteria like salmonella and E. coli. Since the stuffing comes in contact with raw turkey, it must also reach this temperature.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Make Stuffed Turkey<\/h2>\n<p>Stuffed turkey is tackled in three easy steps: Prepare the stuffing, stuff the turkey and bake the turkey. Along the way, you&#8217;ll need to pay close attention to a few temperatures. If you don&#8217;t already have one, now is a good time to invest in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-meat-thermometer\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-meat-thermometer\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">meat thermometer<\/a>. A probe thermometer with an alarm is particularly helpful so you don&#8217;t have to open the oven door to check the turkey&#8217;s temperature.<\/p>\n<p>The first key to success involves stuffing temperature. Nestled inside the core of the turkey, the stuffing takes a long time to reach a safe temperature\u2014much longer than the meat surrounding it. So, give the stuffing a head start by adding it to the turkey while it&#8217;s still warm.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll also need to choose the right oven temperature. Some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/thanksgiving-turkey-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/thanksgiving-turkey-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Thanksgiving turkey recipes<\/a> call for blasting the turkey in a 450\u00b0 oven to crisp up the skin. This would be a huge mistake with a stuffed turkey and can lead to overcooked meat and undercooked stuffing. Instead, cook the stuffed turkey in a 325\u00b0 oven for even cooking.<\/p>\n<h2>Stuffed Turkey Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Turkey:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-long-to-cook-a-turkey\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-long-to-cook-a-turkey\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">How long to cook a turkey<\/a> is entirely dependent on the turkey&#8217;s size. We designed this stuffed turkey recipe for a 14- to 16-pound turkey, so you&#8217;ll want to adjust the cooking time if you&#8217;re cooking a larger or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/small-turkey\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/small-turkey\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">smaller turkey<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Butter adds richness to the stuffing vegetables. It&#8217;s also brushed onto the turkey skin to help it achieve a gorgeous brown sheen. Feel free to substitute oil to make a dairy-free stuffed turkey.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stuffing vegetables:<\/strong> Onions, celery and mushrooms are sauteed in butter to add depth to the stuffing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chicken broth:<\/strong> Broth moistens the stuffing cubes. To really make the stuffing shine, use homemade chicken or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-turkey-stock\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-turkey-stock\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">turkey stock<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stuffing cubes:<\/strong> Store-bought stuffing cubes are convenient, or you can make homemade stuffing cubes with flavorful breads like sourdough or challah.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Herbs and spices:<\/strong> Customize these herbs and spices according to your preferences.

Adding warm stuffing to a refrigerated turkey prevents the stuffing from cooling properly, which can lead to potential bacteria growth. Instead, transfer the stuffing to a storage container and keep it covered in the refrigerator until you&#8217;re ready to cook. Then, reheat the stuffing before adding it to the turkey.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Store Stuffed Turkey<\/h2>\n<p>Remove the stuffing from the turkey cavity and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Cover the turkey, or carve the meat off the bone and transfer it to an airtight container.

Cube the bread of your choosing, place it in a single layer on a baking sheet and lightly toast it in a 250\u00b0 oven for about an hour. Turn the cubes occasionally for even toasting.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you keep stuffed turkey from drying out?<\/h3>\n<p>Cook stuffed turkey in a 325\u00b0 oven to ensure the meat stays juicy and moist. Higher oven temperatures can cause the moisture to evaporate quickly and dry out the meat before the stuffing can cook through. It&#8217;s also important to let the turkey rest after cooking. Resting allows the juices to redistribute within the meat for improved moistness.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make gravy with drippings from a stuffed turkey?<\/h3>\n<p>A stuffed turkey may not have as many dripping as a traditional turkey, as the bread-rich stuffing can soak up many of those tasty juices.
