What temperature do you cook a pan of dressing at?
its not how long you cook a bird or what temp that matters, its the proper internal temperature. To determine done-ness of the bird , use a cooking thermometer.
And since i don't know how much your bird weighs, i cant answer the question properly as to what the temperature to roast it. Or how long .
But its stuffed you said and large. So i would guesstimate roast it at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, then turn the oven down to 325 degrees , cover the bird with a tent of foil loosely, continue roasting for an hour . using the cooking thermometer -Check the temp of the bird at a thick part - should reach 165 degrees. Also check the temp of the stuffing, should be 150- 160 degrees.
Continue to cook until the bird reaches those temps.

For Baking
General notes: Reducing fat will give baked goods a denser texture; to correct for this, try increasing the sugar in the recipe and/or beating the egg whites and folding them into the batter. Also try using a softer flour, like pastry or cake flour.
- applesauce (Applesauce can replace up to ¾ of the shortening in many recipes. Add with the liquid ingredients and reduce sugar in recipe if the applesauce is sweetened.) OR
- pureed prunes (Pureed prunes can replace up to ¾ of the shortening in many recipes; it works especially well with chocolate. Add with the liquid ingredients.) OR
- apple butter (Apple butter can replace up to ¾ of the shortening in many recipes, also reduce sugar in recipe if the apple butter is sweetened. Add with the liquid ingredients.) OR
- fruit-based fat substitutes (Especially good when baking with chocolate; add with the liquid ingredients. For best results, substitute only 3/4 of the fat with this.) OR
- bananas (mashed) (Substitute measure for measure.) OR
- omit or reduce (In many recipes for quick breads, muffins, and cookies, you can reduce the amount of fat in the recipe by about a third without seriously compromising the quality.
- oil (Avoid substituting oils for solid fats when baking cookies, cakes, and pastries; it will make the dish greasy and dense. If you must do so, substitute 3 parts oil for every 4 parts solid fat and consider increasing the amount of sugar and eggs in the recipe. Pie crusts made with oil aren't as flaky as those made with solid fat.)
There are plenty of substitute options out there. Many companies make faux-butter or faux-margarine spreads / poducts. These dairy immitations are commonly made from rice, soy, almond, or cashews milk that goes through the same process as animal's milk originally does to become butter or margarine, yet these products are totally vegen.
EVOO! Extra virgin olive oil is my fav
Depends on the recipe but there are many options from vegan margarine (I love a type of margarine that is extracted from coconut, I forget the name at the moment but there are others if you aren't looking for a sweet taste that are more normal.) to any regular vegetable oil or oil.
Can you use cane sugar instead of white sugar in a recipe?
You can! White sugar in an equal amount will work fine, but your cookies will be a little crisper than if they had been made with brown sugar.
Or, if you have molasses on hand, add 2 tablespoons molasses to every cup of substituted white sugar and you will not be able to tell the difference.
