You could start it an hour later but wouldn't wait longer than that. You want time for it to rest after it comes out of the oven

It might be a little early -- it will probably be more in the 3/12-4 hour range, but you'll want it to rest the turkey for at least 30 minutes (and a little longer can't hurt -- just tent it with foil if you're worried it's cooling off). So 12pm sounds fine!

And be sure to wait till the stuffing is 165 degrees -- the dry brining should help protect the meat from drying out.
