Recipe Notes
You can bake your stuffing in an 8-inches square pan, instead of a 2-quart casserole dish.
We recommend using this stuffing in an 18-pound turkey. Although, be careful not to put too much stuffing! Fill the turkey loosely, to make sure its inside cooks evenly. Bake the turkey at 325 degrees F for 3 to 4 hours and 30 minutes, or until the center of the turkey reaches 165 degrees F.
