Ingredients:
1 wild turkey 8 to 10 lbs
1 lb. of pork sausage
1/2 cup of butter
1/2 lb. of sliced mushrooms
2 stalks of chopped celery
1 chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 cups of bread cubes
1 egg

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
If the wild taste is something you do not like,
marinate the turkey in buttermilk for 24 hours.
Brown the pork sausage in a skillet and drain the grease.
Add the butter, mushroom, garlic, onion,
and celery to skillet and melt the butter.
Pour the mix over the bread cubes in a bowl
and stir in the egg.
Clean inside and out and dry the turkey.
Stuff the prepared dressing into the cavity
and place turkey in a roasting pan.
Place a meat thermometer in the breast of the turkey
avoiding the bones. Lightly rub oil over the turkey.
Cover the turkey loosely with foil.
Place roasting pan in oven for
about 3 1/2 hours, occasionally basting with oil or butter.
Remove
the foil and continue to roast for 30 min.
The turkey is done when the thermometer reads 185 F.
Pull the turkey from the oven and let sit for 30 min.
