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.
