This is my moms recipe, she makes it every year and it's always a hit.
Ingredients
1 pound breakfast sausage
3/4 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 cups finely diced celery
3/4 cup margarine, melted
8 cups white bread cubes
3 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
1 Cook sausage. Drain.
2 Melt margarine. Add enough to sausage drippings to make 1 cup.
3 Saute; onions and celery in margarine/dripping mixture until onion is tender. DO NOT BROWN. Stir in about 1/3 bread cubes. Put in big bowl and add remaining bread cubes, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Watch your hands, it's hot. Mix well.
4 Stuff turkey. You can also omit the sausage, increase the bread cubes to 9 cups, and add a teaspoon or two of salt. You can also add apples, giblets, oysters, etc. This recipe is very adaptable. When cooking extra in the oven, place the stuffing in a buttered casserole dish, and place in a pan of hot water. Cover, and baste with turkey drippings occasionally.
