2. Limit Time To Thaw Turkey

Instead of cooking them all together, make sure to cook the stuffing before chucking it in the bird.

3. Cook Stuffing Separately

Do ensure you have a meat thermometer, and the thigh must read 175°F and the breast 165°.

Make sure to brine your turkey overnight in water, salt and seasonings, so that the taste is amazing when cooked.
