Turkey, Garnished, with Sausages
Ingredients
Directions
The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.
Prepare the turkey by cleaning and seasoning it.
Stuff the turkey with sausage links.
Roast the turkey in a 350°F (175°C) oven until fully cooked.
Serve garnished with stewed celery.
