Where is the Common Sense?

Well you can't fix stupid. Even with a $3M house.

However even back in the day I know lots of people that got food poisoning from under-cooked turkey stuffing. The only stuffing I will eat that comes out of the turkey is my mothers. Everyone else's is suspect.

No one here likes turkey much anyways. Made a roast beef for thanksgiving instead.

A stuffed turkey is safe as long as you cook it to the right temperature. An unstuffed turkey is cooked to a minimum temperature of 165°F. A stuffed turkey is cooked to a stuffing temperature of 165°F minimum in the middle or thickest part of the stuffing. The stuffing shouldn't be packed in the cavity. It should be loose so the heat penetrates it. Use a meat thermometer and don't depend on those pop-up indicators.

Cooks have been stuffing turkeys since turkeys have roamed the Earth. Internal temperature is everything. And they didn't have meat thermometers back in the day!
 
So is this safe?

I cut up our turkey like a chicken this year... never going to cook a whole turkey ever again. I cooked it at 400f and I pulled the breast meat and wings out after a half hour and the thighs at 45 minutes. Everything was juicy and perfectly done.

I going to start this. I smoke 3 20-23 lb turkeys for work each year.

When cooking whole birds, the breasts are always done before the leg joints are.
 
My son spatchcocked a turkey and smoked it on Saturday after Thanksgiving. We were amazed how fast it cooked. Came out awesome.
