• 1 large or 2 medium carrots, grated
• 2.5 medium potatoes, grated
• heart of celery equal to one stick, chopped fine

Steps

2. Break the loaves of bread, can use more bread if you need more dressing. Sprinkle with sage. Add sausage mixture and stir well. Add some more moisture, (boil some turkey backs, necks or wings beforehand to make some juice) or add canned milk or just plain water. Add enough to make the dressing almost sloppy or so all the bread is moist. Salt to taste.
3. Stuff the turkey and bake with the bird. The dressing can be baked separately in loaf pans at 350F for 30-45 minutes.
