michaelr... yeah, I agree. But, I didn't notice it was "pre-stuffed" until I took it out of the fridge. Never thought to look at the packaging when I took it out of my freezer and had forgotten that I had bought this type (on sale, early December). THAT is when I thought, "WHY have I never bought a meat thermomter?"

So, I slowly scraped exposed dressing that was steaming hot and JUST enough for a small bit for Mum and I. The rest is in the garbage with the carcass. I did the same with the meat. The breast was well cooked. The rest chopped up and frozen for soups only.

Mum and I are fine in case you wanna know.
