Brilliant minds work the same way! I'm going to do this also, but a little
differently. Cooks Illustrated, last year sometime I believe, took the bird
and laid it on top of dressing (stuffing), and baked it in the oven it that
way. The bird drippings go right into the mixture, very tasty. I've got
toasted old bread in the freezer that has been taken out and now I'm going
to make a light (very little liquid) dressing/stuffing to put under the
bird. I usually put the bird & dressing/stuffing in a 10 inch corningware
dish, and then put the dish inside of a roasting pan, just in case (which
usually happens) stuff drops over the top of the corningware dish.
