Break up sausage and place in fairly deep skillet. Cook, stirring to break up lumps, until meat has lost raw look.

This is basically the stuffing we've always made, however we use cubed, dried bread rather then bread crumbs. I don't put it in the bird, but in a casserole dish, bake at 350 or 375 for 45-60min. I usually sub chopped fennel for the celery and often need extra eggs to get the right consistancy. Other herbs add nicely -- thyme, sage, etc -- if you like.

Does this not need to go into the oven? Seems too simple

Can this be cooked in advance and not in the Turkey?
