Stuffing and stuff

Every year at Thanksgiving I deal with the same issue: what to do about the stuffing? As we have all heard a thousand times, stuffing cooked inside the turkey is dangerous. Unfortunately, stuffing cooked outside the turkey is gross. Every year I roll the dice with my life and eat the potentially bacteria-infested turkey stuffing. It's moist and delicious. For the past 31 years, I've been lucky-- no bacteria.

Now, this 31-year-successful track record might make you think the stuffing-bacteria warnings are overblown. But, what does a neurotic wife think? Next year my family and I will get seriously ill from infected stuffing.
