Comment on It just isn't complete without it

It is recommended to not stuff the bird because a turkey is large enough that stuffing will significantly increase cooking time and without care it is very easy to undercook the now solid interior, which can then soak bacteria-ladden juices into the stuffing which has not reached sufficient temperatures to kill said offending bacteria.
Stuff your small birds like chickens; dress your big birds like turkey.

The best recommendation of all in my book is to just use a thermometer. Never cook meat by time, always do it by temperature, it’s the only way to know what is actually happening in there.
