Notes
For use in poultry:
Stuff into the cavity of a turkey and roast as usual.
To use outside of poultry:
Transfer stuffing to a large baking dish or Dutch oven, and cover with tin foil.
Bake in a 350 F oven for about 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 15 minutes or so, until golden brown.
Note: If you’re stuffing your turkey, you’ll be handling raw meat at the same time you’re handling the stuffing. Any stuffing that doesn’t fit in the bird NEEDS to be baked after handling, to avoid potential food poisoning.
