ROASTING
Differences in the shape and tenderness of individual birds, as well as the temperature of the bird when put into the oven, may require increasing or decreasing the cooking time slightly. For best results, use a roasting thermometer, which will read 165 degrees when your bird is properly cooked.

-- THE FROZEN STUFFED TURKEY
Never, never defrost a frozen stuffed turkey. The interaction of the stuffing with the flesh of the turkey causes bacteria to start forming, and that is why the cooking process, which destroys them, should be started immediately. Roast your frozen stuffed turkey with a foil cap -- or use a covered roaster.
