3/4 lb. mild pork sausage
1/2 c. butter or margarine
1 1/2 c. chopped celery
1 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. chopped carrot (or grated)
9 c. dry bread cubes
1 large apple, cored and finely chopped
1 tsp. ground sage
1/2 tsp. thyme, crushed
1/2 tsp. dried rosemary, crushed
1/4 c. snipped parsley
1/2 to 3/4 c. turkey or chicken broth
salt and pepper

In a large skillet, crumble sausage. Cook and stir until sausage is brown. Drain off all but 1/4 cup drippings. Add butter, celery, onion and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally until onion is tender. In a very large bowl, combine bread cubes, apple, sage, thyme, rosemary, parsley and sausage mixture. Toss lightly. Add enough broth to moisten. Salt and pepper to taste. Use to stuff 1 (10 to 12 pound) turkey.
