Question: It is fully cooked but won't be eaten until tomorrow


Answers: It is fully cooked but won't be eaten until tomorrow

I would actually recommending taking the stuffing out, and maybe even cutting it up a bit.
The fridge may not get cold enough to cool it down quickly enough. Unless you want people barfing and going to the ER.

No. They recommend that you remove the stuffing before you refrigerate the bird, the reason being that the stuffing can absorb and grow bacteria from the turkey's body cavity.

Not usually recommended, even if cooked. I would take the stuffing out. Make sure when you heat it up that it heats all the way thru.

For safety purposes. . . store the stuffing in another container.

yes you can, its just bread, just make sure to heat it well in your oven or else it wont taste good

No you can;t you can get very ill doing it l;ike that,you always have to take the dressing out as soon as it comes out of the oven.I wonder why' but i know you can get really sick and even food poisoned ...

I learned when I was very young that you are supposed to remove the turkey from the bones before you refrigerate. So I would take the stuffing out also.

Are you reheating it tomorrow? If so the stuffing will take a long time to heat up while inside the turkey and if it's not hot (at least 140) it could contain bacteria. It may be easier and safer to remove the stuffing and refrigerate it and cook it separately. Go with what several others have said and just to be safe remove the stuffing.

no you could get sick
