DIRECTIONS:
In large frying pan, saute on low heat, celery and onions with 2 sticks of butter, salt & pepper to taste until clear. About 20 minutes. Cover to retain heat.
While the celery/onion roux is cooking on low, start toasting bread. Break into pieces and place in really large bowl or stew pot. Don't forget this makes enough for about 15 people. So big bowl or pot to mix together.
In medium fry pan, add 2-3 tablespoons olive oil, heat and add Italian sausage, break into pieces and saute.
When bread is all done and toasted, add celery/onion roux & melted butter, scrap bottom of pan to get all the good stuff in there. Mix with your hands thoroughly. Add Mushrooms (drained), add sausage & drippings, add parsley, salt & pepper, poultry seasonings and mix through. Add eggs and mix together well, if needed add more eggs, should have a thick dough like consistency. Salt & pepper, poultry seasonings, taste to adjust.
Prepare bird for stuffing, salt & pepper cavities, stuff bird with stuffing, tie off open areas and rub bird with olive oil to retain moisture. Any left over Stuffing can be made in covered casserole dish.
Cook for 15 minutes per pound. Prior to carving turkey, remove stuffing and fluff a bit.
This will stuff a 20-25 lb Turkey.
