Stuffing is a classic side dish that is typically served for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. It goes well with roasted turkey, barbeque meat, and any main dish. Traditional stuffing is also prepared by stuffing the mixture into a turkey, chicken, or other poultry before roasting. Make sure the stuffing is fully cooked to a safe temperature (165°F or 74°C) to avoid foodborne illness. Some people prefer to cook the stuffing separately from the bird to ensure it gets crispy and evenly cooked.
