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.
