I would actually recommending taking the stuffing out, and maybe even cutting it up a bit.
The fridge may not get cold enough to cool it down quickly enough. Unless you want people barfing and going to the ER.

Are you reheating it tomorrow? If so the stuffing will take a long time to heat up while inside the turkey and if it's not hot (at least 140) it could contain bacteria. It may be easier and safer to remove the stuffing and refrigerate it and cook it separately. Go with what several others have said and just to be safe remove the stuffing.

Im going to agree with the others - stuffing inside - I just learned this from the Food Network Thanksgiving special - when the stuffing is inside the turkey, the raw juices from the turkey get into the stuffing. You will have to cook the turkey longer, potentially causing it to be drier, to raise the temperature to a safe eating point. I would go for cooking it on the side - and you can cook it in the oven, in safe dish. Cover with tin foil if you want it to be mushier or without a lid if you want it crunchy on the top. You can actually cook it ahead of time and then just reheat it on Thanksgiving. Remember that stuffing can be like pasta or potatoes...make some alterations... -Cook sausage, break into pieces, add it to the stuffing with some sage and walnuts -Add different veggies either raw or sauteed - carrots, celery, onions, zuccinni, etc. A nice touch would be cooked (broken into pieces and sugar added prior to putting with the stuffing) cranberries -Cut up peeled apples and add it to the stuffing. For some extra sweetness, sprinkle in some cinnaminon, nutmeg, and/or brown sugar with it. Make what you and yours would like the best and make it one of your family's "tradition"!! Good luck!

I learned when I was very young that you are supposed to remove the turkey from the bones before you refrigerate. So I would take the stuffing out also.

No. They recommend that you remove the stuffing before you refrigerate the bird, the reason being that the stuffing can absorb and grow bacteria from the turkey's body cavity.

Not usually recommended, even if cooked. I would take the stuffing out. Make sure when you heat it up that it heats all the way thru.

For safety purposes. . . store the stuffing in another container.
