Tip
from the chef
- You can prepare this stuffing and cook it in the turkey cavity but it is crucial, to eliminate the risk of contamination, to remove it from the cavity when the turkey is cooked and to cook the stuffing in the oven, in a greased pan, until its internal temperature reaches 175°F (80°C).
