It is important to cover stuffing (dressing) while cooking it. One of the important ingredients to a good stuffing is water, and therefore, it can dehydrate making for a dry stuffing.

If cooking stuffing, whether in a container by itself or inside a turkey, cover with aluminum foil. Also, if cooking the stuffing inside the turkey, be sure to baste the stuffing exposed while basting the turkey.

Why must stuffing be cooked seperately?

The FDA recommends cooking stuffing separately from the turkey because the interior of the body cavity doesn't reach a high enough temperature to kill bacteria, which may cause food poisoning when the stuffing is eaten. If you try to remedy the problem by cooking at a higher temperature, the meat becomes dry and overcooked. Therefore, the recommended solution is to cook the stuffing in a separate casserole dish.

How do you keep stuffing moist in the oven?

The cooking time depends on the ingredients, how watery it is and temperature of the cooker. If the stuffing comes in a package, refer to the instructions on the packaging, because different brands have different ingredients, which means different cooking times. If you have homemade your stuffing, then it can take about 35 or 45 minutes if it contains meat (ie sausage), or 20-30 minutes if it is entirely vegetable to bake in the oven at 350F (175 C).
