GRANDMA'S SAUSAGE TURKEY STUFFING
This recipe is from my husband's mother and is a family tradition and loved by all. It is surprisingly easy. There is never enough so I usually double this recipe. Our son is very allergic to dairy products so I was thrilled to discover that this was safe for him as long as I double checked the ingredients in the sausage and Cubed Stuffing each time as things change. Needless to say, it is his favorite part of Thanksgiving.

Steps:
- To make this easy to prepare, I chop the onion, celery and parsley first.
- In a large skillet, (I use an electric skillet for easy clean up) chop up the pork sausage with a utensil as it starts to cook. Just as this is starting to cook a bit, add your onion, celery, poultry seasoning and sage. Cook until the sausage is done and the celery and onion have cooked down. Taste it as it is safe to eat at this point. Add more seasoning if you think it needs it. It should taste like stuffing at this point and very good! Turn off heat.
- In a large bowl pour 1/2 bag of the cubed stuffing croutons, 1/2 of the chicken stock and 1/2 of the sausage. Stir well and repeat.
- Refrigerate overnight or until you are ready to use. Makes enough to stuff a 16-20 pound turkey and a small casserole on the side. Spray your casserole dish with vegetable spray and add some turkey drippings to the casserole while cooking. Casserole cooks in about 25 minutes on 325 degree oven.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Make sure the turkey is at room temperature when it goes into the oven; otherwise it will take longer to roast Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Rinse the turkey inside and out and pat dry. Season the cavity with salt and pepper and set the bird on a rack in a roasting pan large enough to let air circulate all around. Rub the softened butter over the breast and legs and season with salt and pepper. Roast the turkey in the top third of the oven for about 30 minutes, or until beginning to brown. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees, cover the turkey loosely with foil and continue roasting, basting often, for about 1 1/2 hours, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 175 degrees. Transfer the turkey to a serving platter, cover again with foil, and let stand for at least 20 minutes before carving.
- Meanwhile, cut the turkey neck and gizzard in half. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan and add the neck, gizzard, heart and wing tips. Cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 7 minutes. Stir in the onion and celery and cook until golden. Add the wine and boil until reduced by half, about 7 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in the tomatoes, parsley, thyme and bay leaf and cook over very low heat until reduced to 3 1/2 cups, about 1 hour. Strain the turkey stock into a bowl; reserve 1 1/2 cups for the stuffing.
- 3. In a small bowl, mix the water with the flour until smooth. Remove the rack from the roasting pan and spoon off the fat. Set the pan over 2 burners on high heat. Add the remaining 2 cups of turkey stock and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the roasting pan. Whisk in the flour paste and cook until the gravy thickens, then add the port. Strain the gravy into a sauceboat. Carve the turkey and serve with the gravy and Sausage Apple Stuffing.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and generously butter 2 medium baking dishes that are at least 2 inches deep. Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the celery and onions and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sausage and cook, stirring, just until it loses its pink color, about 7 minutes.
- In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with the prunes, apples, parsley and sage. Add the sausage mixture and season with the salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add the eggs and reserved turkey stock and mix well. Divide the stuffing between the prepared baking dishes. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for about 10 minutes longer, or until heated through and browned on top. Let cool slightly before serving.

Steps:
- Rinse turkey, and pat dry with paper towels. Place it on a flat surface, skin side up. Using a chopstick or the handle of a wooden spoon, gently separate turkey skin from breast meat, being careful not to tear the skin. Remove skin, and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Flip turkey over, and lay flat. If turkey is not an even thickness, cover with plastic wrap, and gently pound with a mallet or a rolling pin. Season with salt and pepper. Spread stuffing evenly on turkey. Starting on 1 short side, tightly roll up turkey.
- Center reserved skin on turkey roll, and smooth to remove any trapped air. Season with salt and pepper. Wrap entire turkey roll in cheesecloth, securing both ends with kitchen string. Tie additional string around roll in 3 or 4 places, spacing evenly. Rub with 4 tablespoons butter.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack in lowest position. Place turkey roll on a rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to oven, and pour water in baking sheet. Roast, rotating halfway through and brushing with remaining 2 tablespoons butter, until stuffing registers 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 2 hours and 10 minutes. (Add more water to baking sheet if necessary to prevent pan drippings from burning.) Let turkey roll rest on baking sheet for 30 minutes.
- To carve the turkey roll: Remove cheesecloth, and transfer turkey roll to a cutting board. Carefully cut roll into slices at least 1/2 inch thick, keeping stuffing intact. Transfer slices to a serving platter, and serve immediately with chutney on the side.

Steps:
- In large pan (dutch oven) brown sausage, scrambling while browning until sausage is in small pieces.
- Do not drain!
- Add onion, celery, butter, poultry seasoning, chicken livers, giblets, turkey neck bone, and water.
- Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 90 minutes.
- Remove livers, giblets, and neck bone.
- Discard neck bone, chop livers and giblets into small pieces and return to stock.
- Put Croutettes into large bowl.
- Add stock with meat and vegetables until all croutons are well moistened.
- You will use most if not all of the stock, as you want the croutettes to be very moist.
- Stuff turkey, and put remainder of stuffing into 2 quart casserole dish.
- Bake as directed for turkey, casserole will need 40 minutes at 350 F degrees.
Tips:
- Choose the right turkey: For a 12-15 pound turkey, you'll need about 3 pounds of sausage stuffing. If your turkey is larger or smaller, adjust the amount of stuffing accordingly.
- Use a variety of sausage stuffing ingredients: The type of sausage you use will determine the flavor of your stuffing. You can use sweet Italian sausage, spicy Italian sausage, breakfast sausage, or any other type of sausage you like. You can also add other ingredients to your stuffing, such as vegetables, herbs, and spices.
- Stuff the turkey just before cooking: Don't stuff the turkey too early, or the stuffing will start to absorb moisture from the turkey and become soggy. Stuff the turkey just before you're ready to cook it.
- Cook the turkey to the right temperature: The safe internal temperature for cooked turkey is 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the turkey before you remove it from the oven.
- Let the turkey rest before carving: Once the turkey is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the turkey, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Turkey with sausage stuffing is a classic holiday dish that is sure to impress your guests. With a little planning and preparation, you can make a delicious turkey with sausage stuffing that everyone will love.
