Brush with butter; sprinkle with paprika., Bake uncovered, at 325° for 4-1/2 to 5-1/2 hours or until a thermometer reads 180° for turkey and 165° for stuffing, basting every 30 minutes (cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly). Bake additional stuffing for 35-40 minutes. , For gravy, dissolve bouillon in water. In a saucepan, whisk flour and 1/4 cup pan drippings until smooth. Gradually add bouillon mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Serve with turkey and stuffing.

The turkey was good, but the stuffing was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different stuffing recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up burning the turkey.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my turkey turned out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.
