Roast Turkey with Cornbread-and-Sausage Stuffing
This roast turkey recipe comes with a wonderful rich stuffing: the savory sausage balance nicely with the sweet cornbread and doesn’t get too mushy!
If you prefer to cook your stuffing separately, butter a casserole pan and fill it with stuffing. Cover the top with foil, and bake with the turkey 1 hour.
