Once it hits 165 everywhere, take it out immediately. Let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes. I know you’re hungry. I know everyone is staring at you. Let it rest anyway.
This isn’t a time-out. It’s a juice redistribution party. The stuffing also sets up a bit, so it doesn’t turn into a pile of wet bread when you scoop it out.
Plus, the temperature will climb another 5-10 degrees during rest. So if it was barely at 165? It’s now a rock-solid safety zone. You’re welcome.
