*
Because chili peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with them as much as possible. When working with chili peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the chili peppers, wash your hands well with soap and water.
Store cooled cornbread overnight in airtight container before using for stuffing.
The internal temperature of the stuffing inside of the turkey should reach 165 degrees F.
