So, how long do you cook a stuffed turkey? The answer is: Long enough to earn its spot at the table, but not a minute longer than the thermometer says.
Will it be perfect? Maybe not. The stuffing might be a little wet, the skin might be a little wrinkled. But guess what? You’re not a restaurant. You’re a friend who took the time to make something warm and wonderful. And that always tastes better than perfect.
So light the oven, pour yourself a glass of something nice, and remember: it’s just a turkey. If you burn it, you can order pizza. If you undercook it, you can always call it “sashimi-style.” (Please don’t do that.) You are capable, you are brave, and you are about to serve a bird that smells like heaven. Now go get ‘em, turkey whisperer.
