• Stuffing Safety

  The temperature of stuffing is critical for safety. Even if the turkey has reached the proper temperature of 180 degrees, the stuffing may not have begun the cooking process. The stuffing needs to reach a temperature of 165 degrees. At this temperature the stuffing will begin to kill the bacteria that can cause foodborne illnesses or food poisoning.CNN.com: Stuffing Safety
