SHOPPING LIST:
1 12 oz. package bread cubes
1 pound Isernio Sausage, 5 links or 1 lb. roll
3 Tbsp. olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup or 2 stalks chopped celery
3 cloves garlic, minced or finely chopped
3 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
2 eggs, slightly beaten
3 Tbsp. fresh finely chopped sage
3 Tbsp. fresh finely chopped rosemary

Giblets, heart, liver and neck from turkey


LET'S COOK
Bring 3 cups of water to a boil, add 1 tsp. salt, add giblets, heart, and neck. Cover and simmer on low heat until tender, about 1-1/2 hours. Drain and reserve broth. Dice meat and set aside.

Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat, cook sausage (slit and remove casings if using links), breaking up with a wooden spoon until all pinkness is gone. Do not brown. With a slotted spoon, remove sausage meat and set aside.

In sausage drippings, add 2 Tbsp. olive oil, onion, garlic, celery, sage, rosemary, salt & pepper. Cook over medium heat until onion is transparent and celery is tender.

In the same skillet, sauté the chopped liver slightly, add 1 tsp. salt.

Add the cooked sausage and diced giblets to the skillet, mix well and turn off the heat. Taste for salt & pepper.

Place the bread cubes in a large bowl and add the sausage & onion mixture, stir well. Add the broth in 1 cup increments to completely moisten the bread cubes. Taste again for salt & pepper. Add the eggs and mix well. The stuffing should be very moist.

Place the stuffing in a oil coated baking dish with lid, or cover with foil, and bake at 350°F for one hour. Or stuff in a turkey right before placing in pre-heated oven. DO NOT stuff turkey, and place in refrigerator. If stuffing in turkey, make sure the stuffing reads 165°F on the thermometer, before taking out of oven.

Hi - yes, the egg goes into the stuffing mixture raw, but it cooks while it's in the oven. That's why it's important to refrigerate the stuffing if you're not going to put it in the oven right away. Thanks!

So can I cook the stuffing in the turkey the same way as u prepared it separately ?
