Perhaps you are wondering why, with other recipes, you had to arise, pre-dawn, to begin to prepare your Turkey.  I shall tell you why.

Two things happened:  you stuffed your turkey and you did not take measures to give it moisture.

We shall resolve this by following this Recipe:

STUFFING:

1)     Your Stuffing is being prepared separately in order to allow your Turkey an even heating process:  it is being caressed with heat over, around and throughout without the block which stuffing creates.

2)     Stuffing:  when one stuffs a Turkey:  the stuffing literally sucks out the moisture!  Think of the many Dry Turkeys, which you have suffered through!  Gravy and more gravy maybe helps a bit but, you still have a dry Turkey!  Dry leftovers, too!

3)     Prepare your Stuffing separately and just make sure to add enough stock to keep it moist:  stuffing is easy to work with if you think of it as a side dish.

4)     Sleep in!  Amaze all with a Great Bird!

5)     HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
