Heck no!Not when you have a Shop Vac handy.....
I use a turkey baster in my filter compartment.
How does the turkey turn out?? I never thought about cooking a turkey in there.............
I recommend increasing the temperature to 350 and depending on the size of the bird, 6-8 hours should be fine. Just wring it out and your ready to go. I tried stuffing once but not again...
