You've got part 1 and part 2 mixed.

Because you want to get excess salt off and excess water prevents proper browning :). Water will cause it to steam.

Stuffing a turkey or any poultry is EVIL!

Good show but I effing hate those crazy camera angles! They leave me dizzy and ready to puke.

The Whole "Stuffing Is Evil" is something he can never let it down & even though he made an episode in which he admitted his error people never let him forget it!
