Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the stuffing will be. Use fresh herbs, vegetables, and broth.
- Don't overcook the rice. The rice should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy and ruin the texture of the stuffing.
- Let the stuffing cool before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the stuffing to set.
- Stuff the turkey loosely. Don't pack the stuffing in too tightly, or it will be dry and dense.
- Bake the turkey at a moderate temperature. This will help to prevent the stuffing from drying out.
- Cover the turkey with foil. This will help to keep the stuffing moist.
- Baste the turkey regularly. This will help to keep the skin moist and prevent it from drying out.
