This recipe comes from my mother.

Ingredients for 1 serving

• 1.5 lbs unseasoned sausage
• 3 large onions, diced
• 1 large or 2 medium carrots, grated
• 2.5 medium potatoes, grated
• heart of celery equal to one stick, chopped fine
• 3 loaves of bread, broken
• 2.5 tbsp sage

Steps

1. Brown sausage lightly in large skillet, mash into fine pieces. Add the onions and grated potatoes and carrots. Finely chop the celery (use the tender leaves also). Salt and pepper to taste. Cook with lid on until carrots are almost done, stirring occasionally.
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.
