Stuffing is a bread-based dish. It is made by taking day-old bread and gently mixing it with spices, nuts, fruits, vegetables and other items. It is then stuffed inside the cavity of a bird, usually a turkey or chicken. If it is baked outside of the bird, it is then called dressing.
Stuffing Safety Tips
For optimum safety, the Food and Safety department of the USDA recommend that you cook stuffing separately from the turkey. Stuffing a turkey can cause uneven cooking, and consuming uncooked egg and poultry could lead to bacterial infection.USDA: Let's Talk Turkey
