If the stuffing was actually made in the turkey (as opposed to outside it, when it's technically called dressing), it soaked up a lot of the bacterial matter found inside the body cavity. As long as the turkey was cleaned and stored well, this isn't harmful when the turkey is fresh. Over the next few days, though, this remnant layer can grow and reach dangerous levels. Most bacteria was killed if the turkey got up to 165 degrees or so; though there are certainly heat-resistant bacteria or microbes that got in subsequently. Nuke it so it's steaming again to be more safe.

That will depend upon packaging and storage temperature. It will not be at its best, but could still be usable. Use your senses to tell you whether or not to use it. If it is slimy or smells odd, then don't use it. If everything looks OK, reheat it to 165°F before consuming.
