Should I cook my turkey and stuffing separate then stuff the bird just before I serve it?

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

If it is cooked inside the bird it is stuffing.

If it is cooked outside the bird, it is dressing.

Most people agree that cooking it inside the bird interferes with proper cooking of the bird.

I recommend you cook it separately, and serve it separately, as dressing.

Yes, u really should do that...!!!

Answer 3

Cook separately,,, It is safer and leaves the bird moist

Answer 4

Probably not. Either cook it stuffed or separate. The reason you stuff it while cooking the turkey is because the stuffing absorbs the flavor of the bird while roasting.

Answer 5

we always stuff it before we cook it.

the stuffing is so moist from all the juice and it's so GOOD ! :]

Answer 6

Cook it inside the bird so that it flavours the meat, and picks up the meat juices.  Pack it into the bird very loosely so that it doesn't interfere with the cooking of the meat.
