my mom's perfect thanksgiving stuffing

Step 7
Toss once again, making sure all bread is well coated with all ingredients.
  • Stuffing the turkey.
    Step 8
    Stuff the turkey, packing tightly, but not too tightly (as in "don't really jam it in there") at both ends. (If you have any leftover, you can put it in a casserole dish, and refrigerate until 45 minutes before turkey is done, then put in the oven with turkey for extra stuffing.)
  • Turkey coated in butter and sprinkled with paprika.
    Step 9
    Use softened butter and, using fingers, rub butter all over turkey until coated. Then shake a little paprika over the top of the entire turkey.
  • Turkey placed in a roasting bag and placed in a roaster.
    Step 10
    Put about 2 tablespoons flour inside the baking bag before putting the turkey inside. Push turkey into the bag. Close bag tightly. Make three slits across the top of the bag for ventilation and put it into a roaster pan.
  • Turkey roasting in the oven.
