Cook it in the oven till it reaches an internal temperature of no less than 180 degrees.
When cooking stuffing/dressing (but only use this when cooking it inside of a turkey) you should always put it in a cloth bag and THEN put it inside of the turkey. Although many people have made stuffing without using a cloth bag to put it in for many years, this is simply just a precaution for your health.
The suggestion of using a food safe cloth bag to cook the stuffing is new to many of us. The idea behind it is the turkey will be finished cooking before the stuffing, the bird will then over cook while allowing the stuffing to finish cooking in the bird.
If the stuffing is bagged, the bag can be removed and the stuffing returned to the oven to finish cooking at the time the turkey is removed. Because bacteria can survive in stuffing that has not reached 165 °F, possibly resulting in food-borne illness.
(according to the USDA Food Safety Service) When stuffing a turkey, it's essential to use a food thermometer to make sure the center of the stuffing reaches a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 °F. They also recommend not to over stuff the bird as this will cause the center to remain under cooked.

Do you cook seafood before making seafood stuffing?
This would depend on what kind of stuffing you are making, whether or not it is the instant stuffing (IE: Stovetop) or homemade. It also depends on whether or not you plan on making it separately, or stuffing the turkey with it. If you are using an instant stuffing, it is wise to make it last, as it only takes approximately 5 minutes to prepare. If you are making homemade stuffing, it is wise to prepare your bread crumbs in advance, so they have time to harden. If you are stuffing a turkey, prepare the stuffing mix prior to stuffing the turkey, then place it in the turkey's cavity. Please be advised that special precautions should be taken when doing this, as a turkey that has been stuffed, when improperly or incompletely cooked, can give additional rise to food borne illnesses.

If turkey has salmonella how long must you cook to kill it?
Most meats do have small traces of Salmonella and other bacteria or microbes present, which is normal. To kill these, it is not so much a matter of how long to cook the turkey, but how hot the meat must get. The food-safe internal temperature of any size whole turkey, is 1700F / 770C (without stuffing), and 1800F / 820C (with stuffing). Some health authorities also now recommend cooking the stuffing separately, for safety reasons, to a temperature of 1650F / 740C.If you are concerned that the bacteria load of your meat is so high that cooking it will not kill the bacteria, do not use it. When in doubt, throw it out.
