However, as much as it is important to serve turkey that is properly done, what many may not know is that achieving the right temperature for the stuffing is just as important.

Shellfish, sausages, pork chops and giblets are among the traditional ingredients used for stuffing.

Although it's common to place the stuffing in the turkey, experts recommend that stuffing be cooked separately in a casserole dish to ensure food safety and uniform doneness. At times, although the turkey may have reached a safe cooking temperature, the stuffing inside may not have reached the temperature to destroy any bacteria which may be present.

If opting to cook the stuffing in a casserole dish, it should be placed immediately in the oven at no lower than 325˚F. Using a thermometer, like the Chef Remi Cooking thermometer, check that the stuffing has reached a minimum internal temperature of 165˚F.
