Spoon 3 cups stuffing into neck cavity. Pin down neck-skin flap with skewers to enclose stuffing. Rub back of turkey with 2 tablespoons butter; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place turkey, breast side up, on rack in roasting pan. Spoon remaining 6 cups stuffing into main cavity. Pin with skewers to enclose stuffing. Tie legs together to hold shape. Rub 4 tablespoons butter over turkey. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add reserved turkey fat and 2 cups Turkey Stock to pan.
- Cover breast with heavy-duty foil. Roast turkey 3 1/2 hours, basting turkey, including breast under foil, every 30 minutes with pan juices and adding stock to pan, 1/2 cup at a time, if liquid evaporates. Remove foil. Roast turkey until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 180°F, basting occasionally with pan juices, about 1 hour longer. Transfer turkey to platter and let stand 20 minutes.
