No, this stuffing recipe is not made inside the turkey! To be honest, when I was younger I never like the idea of stuffing actually being stuffed inside the turkey so I chose to bake this recipe in a casserole dish. It comes out even more delicious than the traditional method in my opinion! The texture is soft and fluffy on the inside, but golden brown and crispy on the top. It's the best of both worlds! Plus baking in a dish is less messy, easier, and reduces the cooking time needed.
