Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, like sage, can really elevate the flavor of your stuffing. If you can, use fresh herbs whenever possible.
  • Don't Overstuff the Turkey: Overstuffing the turkey can make it difficult to cook evenly and can also make the stuffing mushy. Aim to fill the turkey loosely, leaving some room for expansion.
  • Cook the Stuffing Thoroughly: Make sure to cook the stuffing until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This will ensure that it is safe to eat.
  • Let the Stuffing Rest: After cooking, let the stuffing rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and will make it easier to serve.
