Some say that the best part of the turkey is the stuffing.
Here is a recipe that is practically a meal in itself.
Ingredients
- 3 cups of cold mashed potatoes
- 3 pounds of raw sausage meat
- 2 medium onions, diced
- 1/ loaf of day-old bread, finely cubed or hand-crumbled
- ½ cup oatmeal
- 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
- 2 tablespoons or more of rolled sage
- ½ cup diced carrots
- ½ cup diced celery
Method
Mix ingredients together. (Note: because you do not brown the sausage meat, it is important that potatoes are cool.) The best way to mix the ingredients is still by hand, so roll-up you sleeves and dive in!If you want easy removal of stuffing after roasting, you can pack the stuffing unto a bag made of cheesecloth, and put the bag into the turkey before roasting.
The stuffing recipe should be the right size to stuff a 16- to 20-pound turkey.

If you have any stuffing leftovers, put it in a plastic bag and store it in the freezer for future use. You can use this to stuff any poultry, pork roasts, or even a boneless leg of lamb with it. You may also try frying up stuffing patties for breakfast or brunch. You could even serve grilled stuffing burgers.
