Talking Turkey

Follow these tips for dressing your bird.

Cook It

Never stuff your turkey with dressing that contains uncooked ingredients, such as raw meat.

Enhance It

Flavor pan-baked stuffing with pan juices from the turkey or with giblet broth, made by simmering giblets on the stove.

Stuff It

Fill the turkey cavity loosely to give the dressing room to expand and to help the turkey cook more evenly.

Hold It

Don’t stuff the turkey until right before you place the bird in the oven.

Store It

Refrigerate leftover turkey and stuffing within two hours after roasting. Place leftovers in shallow containers and use them within three to four days.
