• Cook and stir onion and celery in the margarine-dripping mixture in the same skillet over medium heat until onion is tender but not browned, about 10 minutes . Stir in about 1/3 of the bread cubes. Pour onion mixture into a large bowl and stir in remaining bread cubes, sausage, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Watch your hands, it's hot. Mix well. This stuffing is ready for baking.

• When you are ready to stuff the turkey combine celery mixture, sausage, stuffing mix and sage in a large bowl.
• Add chicken broth a little at a time just until stuffing is moist, not mushy or runny.
• Rinse turkey and empty the cavity. Place turkey in roasting pan.
• Fill the body cavity with stuffing mixture. Also fill the cavity at the neck under the skin with stuffing. Pat any additional stuffing between the turkey legs. Prepare turkey as desired.
