Why does Alton Brown not recommend putting stuffing dressing inside the turkey?

When it comes to turkey, Stuffing Is Evil. That’s because stuffing goes into the middle of the bird and is extremely porous.

How do you keep stuffing moist?

The bread in the stuffing absorbs moisture, but if it’s dry (as it should be, see above), it takes some time for the liquid to settle in. I suggest adding a little at a time, say 1 cup of broth for every 4 cups of dry mix. Give it a good stir, then let it sit for a minute. The stuffing should be moist, but not wet.
