Traditional Pork, Sage and Onion Stuffing

I firmly believe that the whole idea of stuffing a large bird like a turkey is to help counteract the drying-out process during the cooking. Pork sausagemeat is an ideal ingredient for this because the fatty juices from the pork help to keep the flesh of the turkey moist.

 
 
 Traditional Pork, Sage and Onion Stuffing

  Makes enough to stuff 1 x 14 lb (6.3 kg) oven-ready bronze free-range turkey

Ingredients
 2 lb (900 g) good-quality pork sausagemeat
 1 oz (25 g) chopped fresh sage
 1 large onion, very finely chopped
 3 oz (75 g) white breadcrumbs (made from bread left out overnight - the best way to make breadcrumbs is in a blender, if you have one)
 Salt and freshly milled black pepper
