 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


Stuffing a Bird
Place the bird in a bowl, neck up. Fill neck and plump out breast. Pull neck skin down and back to hold the stuffing in. Turn the bird over and fill the interior cavity. Be careful not to pack the stuffing too tightly as it swells during cooking. Close the slit with skewers and lace with string or heavy thread.

Cooking Time
Chicken should be cooked at 350 deg. F. for 35 minutes per pound of dressed weight.

Turkey should be cooked at 325 deg. F., uncovered: 4 to 4 1/2 hrs. for a 6-8 lb. bird; 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 hrs. for an 8-10 lb. bird; 5 1/2 to 6 1/4 hrs. for a 10-13 lb. bird; 6 1/4 to 6 3/4 hrs. for a 13-16 lb. bird; 6 3/4 to 7 1/4 hrs. for a 16-20 lb. bird. Baste occasionally while cooking to keep the meat tender and juicy.
