Hi Dennis!

"Stuffing is evil" Alton Brown, Food Network Chef/Personality

AB's theory is that stuffing adds mass to the turkey and that cooking a stuffed turkey results in either an overcooked turkey or a turkey which is unsafe to consume. He advocates cooking the "stuffing" in a separate dish in the oven, which he calls "dressing".

I checked out the egghead forum for information about cooking a stuffed turkey on a ceramic grill and after seeing all the responses which consisted of lectures on why a turkey should not be stuffed, decided I should keep it to myself.

I like a stuffed turkey. Most "dressing" cooked outside the bird tastes dry and nasty. Cook's Illustrated has a fix that includes (as I recall) bacon over the top of the pan of dressing, to give it some "in the bird" flavor. But what's the point, when the bird is right there, and stuffable?

Stuff on.

After it's cooked, the stuffing vanishes almost instantly, so no need to admonish about leaving a stuffed bird.

Just don't stuff the night before - I'll go along with that one.
