Baked Green Mountain Turkey

Baked Green Mountain Turkey

Ingredients:
1 lb. pork sausage; 1 cup chopped celery; 1 cup chopped onion; 1 loaf bread (white or
wheat) dried; 1 tsp. salt; 2 tsp. poultry seasoning; ½ tsp. pepper; 1 egg; and water.
Clean and wash turkey well. Prepare stuffing: In skillet, scramble sausage and cook just until lightly
browned. Add celery and onions and simmer for five minutes. In a large bowl, break bread into small
pieces (food processor does a nice job). Add salt, poultry seasoning and pepper. Mix. Add sausage,
celery and onion. Mix. Add egg and mix well. Add enough water to desired moistness. Stuff body and
neck cavity of turkey.
Place turkey, breast-side up in roasting pan. Brush with butter or cover with bacon strips. Cover
loosely with foil. Bake at 325 degrees until tender, approximately 2 ½ to 3 hours for 10-pound bird.
Remove foil for the last 30 minutes to brown. Remove bird from pan. Use drippings for gravy. Add
water and salt. Thicken with flour and water. Yield or number servings -- depends on how hard you
had to hunt for the turkey and how hungry you are at the time of baking!
