Easy Cooking Guide: Stuffing a Whole Turkey Whether you choose to stuff your turkey or cook the stuffing in a casserole dish is a matter of personal preference. As with any preparation involving raw food ingredients, it is important to follow proper food safety and handling procedures carefully to ensure a safe turkey every time. If you decide to stuff the turkey, we recommend the following five guidelines. * Prepare stuffing just before placing in turkey. Use only cooked ingredients in stuffing - i.e., sauté vegetables, use only cooked meats and seafood (oysters), and use pasteurized egg products instead of raw eggs. * Place prepared stuffing in turkey just before roasting. Do not stuff the turkey the night before roasting. * Stuff both neck and body cavities of completely thawed turkey, allowing ½ to ¾ cup of stuffing per pound of turkey. Do not pack stuffing tightly in turkey. * Return legs to original tucked position, if untucked for rinsing or stuffing. * Use a cook method that allows the stuffing to cook along with the turkey. Do not stuff turkeys when cooking on an outdoor grill or water smoker or when using fast cook methods where the turkey gets done before the stuffing. Copyright 2003, ConAgra Foods, Inc.
