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.
