      When I make it rather than “mashed potatoes made of bread” it’s more like “slightly moist croutons”. Breaks my heart.

      By putting it inside a turkey or just somehow with stuffing?

        Yeah, I put it inside the turkey. I used a friend’s recipe, but it must have been a bigger bird and took too long to cook or something.

        Okay, I just Googled it:

        When you place stuffing inside a turkey, it comes into contact with raw meat and juices that may contain harmful bacteria such as salmonella.

          Yeah, it’s fallen out of fashion because if you leave it there overnight especially bacteria can grow in it. Well, sorry to hear that. I like making homemade stuffing but I just bake it in a pan… i guess that’s called dressing.

          Try microwaving it on high for several minutes (until it’s basically too hot to handle) before stuffing the bird.

          It also helps if you don’t pack it in. It should get to 165°F to be considered safe.
