I don't ever stuff a turkey. It's very hard to get the stuffing to a safe
temp, about 165F without overcooking the rest of the turkey. It would be
particularly difficult with a turkey that large. Make your turkey stock in
advance and make your stuffing on the side. When I don't have frozen turkey
stock I buy turkey parts and make a stock.
