  1. Excellent flavor. The turkey breast was a little larger so I decided not to stuff it and after preparing according to instructions I layed it on top of the stuffing. I should have weighed it as the weight was not readable. It took much longer than anticipated to reach the correct temperature, about an hour longer. The stuffing that was not under the breast did get quite crispy but was still good. I am thinking that the breast may have not completely thawed prior to putting in the oven. However, the turkey meat was so wonderfully moist. This was a skin on breast which likely helped retain moisture. I did add a handful of dried cranberries into the stuffing mixture which added a nice dimension. I am going to try this with chicken pieces next. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
