Stuffing Turkey: It's safest to bake stuffing separately, but if stuffing the turkey is a must, place as much stuffing in the turkey as will loosely fit just before roasting turkey. Do not over stuff or stuffing it'll not cook properly. Bake remaining stuffing in a baking dish according to stuffing directions. Stuffing baked in a turkey must reach 65 degrees F. Where turkey is done roasting, remove stuffing from turkey and transfer to a baking dish. Continue baking until stuffing reaches 165 degrees F before serving. This should only take about as long as the turkey should stand before carving. Refrigerate leftovers. Roasting Instructions: 1. Remove thawed turkey from packaging. Remove neck and giblets; toss or keep refrigerated if using later. Wash turkey inside and out with cold water; drain well. Pat dry with clean paper towels. The plastic leg dump may be left on during cooking, to temperatures up to 500 degrees F. Place turkey, breast side up, on a flat rack in a roasting pan. Brush skin with oil or rub with butter to prevent the skin from drying and to create a crisp, golden skin. Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the thigh muscle, but not touching the bone. Place in a preheated 325 degrees F oven. Bake according to the timetable provided ensuring the temperature, taken at the innermost part of the thigh, reaches at least 165 degrees F measured by a food thermometer and juices run clear. (When skin is golden, cover turkey loosely with aluminum foil to prevent overcooked breast and burnt skin.). Start checking turkey for doneness about a hour before scheduled end time. 5. When turkey is done, remove from oven. Allow to stand 20 minutes before carving. Roasting timetable.
