I thought you were supposed to prepare the stuffing at the last minute so 
it was still hot when you put it in the turkey (and then straight into the 
oven) so it would spend less time in the danger zone.  If it's already hot 
it will only heat further when you roast the stuffed bird.  Have I heard 
incorrectly?
