When that glorious bird comes out of the oven when the meat thermometer reads 165F, we remove the stuffing to a separate, shallow casserole dish and continue to bake it at 350F while the turkey rests before carving. The turkey will continue to cook (the temp increases about 10 degrees) while resting and the stuffing will be completely cooked when it's time to bring the bird to the table.

IMO, the stuffing that's cooked inside the bird is more moist and flavorful than the dressing that is cooked outside the bird. In the end, however, it's all good.
