  • 1/2 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup egg substitute
  • 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped celery leaves
  • 2 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 2 teaspoons pepper, divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
  • 4 cups cooked white rice, cooled
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1 (10 pound) turkey
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
  1. In a large skillet, cook the pork, beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.
  2. In a large bowl, combine egg substitute, poultry seasoning, parsley, celery leaves, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Add meat mixture and rice.
  3. Just before baking, stuff turkey. Skewer openings; tie drumsticks together. Place on a rack in roasting pan. Combine garlic, thyme, tarragon, marjoram and remaining salt, pepper and garlic powder; rub over turkey. Add broth and butter to pan.
  4. Bake at 325 degrees for 4 to 4-1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 180 degrees for the turkey and 165 degrees for the stuffing, basting frequently. When turkey begins to brown, cover lightly with a tent of aluminum foil. Remove all dressing.
