The general rule of thumb is to use ¾-cup of stuffing per pound of turkey I like to use ¾-cup bread cubes per pound to give that little bit extra. Cook up the extra by lightly drizzling stuffing with vegetable oil and sealing it in a vegetable sprayed foil pouch. Cook alongside turkey for 45 minutes Never stuff a turkey ahead of time, or preheat the stuffing before filling the turkey, as this will promote bacteria growth which will cause illness. This recipe was used on a 16lb turkey
