Use the right bread - stale bread is best for stuffing as it will absorb the liquid and hold its shape.
Add enough liquid - the stuffing should be moist but not soggy, so add enough liquid to achieve the desired consistency.
Season well - stuffing can be bland if not seasoned properly, so be sure to use plenty of herbs and spices.
Cook thoroughly - stuffing should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F to ensure it is safe to eat.
Don't overstuff the bird - stuffing the bird can lead to uneven cooking and potential food safety issues, so cook the stuffing separately.
Experiment with flavors - while these rules are important, don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors and ingredients to make your stuffing unique and delicious.
