Sausage Stuffing

1(12 ounce) mild pork sausage roll, such as Jimmy Dean's, cooked and crumbled
1 whole loaf bread made for stuffing, torn into pieces
2 medium apples, cored, unpeeled, chopped
3 ribs celery, chopped
3 medium onions, chopped
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
pepper to taste (optional)
canned chicken broth, as needed for moistness

Chop apples, celery and onions with knife or in food processor. Do not over process. Saute' apples and vegetables until tender in 2 Tablespoons fat or oil in the same skillet you have used to cook the sausage after sausage has been removed.

Place mixture along with cooked and crumbled sausage in a 4 quart mixing bowl. Let cool a bit. Add remaining ingredients and mix well until thoroughly moistened. Add some canned chicken broth if mixture needs more moisture.

Wash turkey thoroughly and dry insides well with paper towels.
Stuff turkey, do not pack; stuffing will expand during roasting. Stuff turkey and proceed as directed on pamphlet packed with the turkey.

Butterball Turkey is my personal preference. They are easy to stuff following package directions. They are also self-basting. The directions are easy to follow for perfect results every time.

Any stuffing that will not fit into the turkey may be placed in a buttered casserole and refrigerated. Bake casserole of stuffing during the last hour the turkey is roasting. Leave the casserole in the oven, if necessary, after removing the turkey. It will continue to cook while the turkey is waiting before being carved

For safety reasons, do not stuff the turkey until just before roasting. Also, remove all cooked stuffing from the turkey before storing leftovers in the refrigerator.

Enjoy!
