Quick Answers
Can I safely stuff a chicken or turkey before freezing it?
Do not stuff before freezing because there is a high
risk of food poisoning. Thawing and cooking pre-stuffed
frozen birds takes too long and provides a perfect
environment for bacterial growth. Stuff a thawed bird
just before you put it in the oven to cook. Better yet,
cook the stuffing separately.
