Steps:
- For the stuffing: Combine the wild rice, water, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and just bursting, about 30 minutes. (Times may very depending on the brand of rice used.) Drain and set aside.
- Adjust an oven rack to lowest position and remove other racks. Preheat to 325 degrees F.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, apple, celery, garlic, thyme, mace, remaining 1 teaspoon salt and pepper, to taste. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon and cook until it loses most of its rosy color, but not so much that it's dry, about 5 minutes more. Stir in the cooked wild rice, pecans, and parsley into the vegetable mixture. (This can be made the day before.)
- For the turkey: Remove turkey parts from neck and breast cavities and reserve for other uses, if desired. Dry bird well with paper towels, inside and out. Melt the butter together with the poultry seasoning. Salt and pepper inside the bird cavity. Loosely add the stuffing to the cavity and set the bird on a rack in a roasting pan, breast-side up, and brush generously with the seasoned butter, then season with salt and pepper. Tent the top of the bird with foil.
- Roast the turkey for about 2 hours undisturbed. Remove and discard the foil. Baste with the remaining butter. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F and continue to roast until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, about 20 to 25 minutes more. Remove turkey from oven and tent with foil for 15 minutes before carving.

APPLE-SAUSAGE STUFFING FOR TURKEY
I found this recipe in an old Homemaker's magazine. I made it for a Thanksgiving dinner a few years ago, and now whenever it's my turn to cook a holiday meal, I have to make this! It's easy and delicious. I prefer making the stuffing as a side dish, rather than stuffing the turkey, so the turkey cooks quicker and it makes less of a mess.

Steps:
- Rinse turkey, and pat dry with paper towels. Place it on a flat surface, skin side up. Using a chopstick or the handle of a wooden spoon, gently separate turkey skin from breast meat, being careful not to tear the skin. Remove skin, and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Flip turkey over, and lay flat. If turkey is not an even thickness, cover with plastic wrap, and gently pound with a mallet or a rolling pin. Season with salt and pepper. Spread stuffing evenly on turkey. Starting on 1 short side, tightly roll up turkey.
- Center reserved skin on turkey roll, and smooth to remove any trapped air. Season with salt and pepper. Wrap entire turkey roll in cheesecloth, securing both ends with kitchen string. Tie additional string around roll in 3 or 4 places, spacing evenly. Rub with 4 tablespoons butter.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack in lowest position. Place turkey roll on a rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to oven, and pour water in baking sheet. Roast, rotating halfway through and brushing with remaining 2 tablespoons butter, until stuffing registers 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 2 hours and 10 minutes. (Add more water to baking sheet if necessary to prevent pan drippings from burning.) Let turkey roll rest on baking sheet for 30 minutes.

Steps:
- 1. Melt the butter in a large frypan. Add the sausage and, as it cooks, keep breaking it up with a large spoon. After the meat is no longer pink, gradually stir in the bread crumbs. If it seems too moist, add a little more breadcrumbs. Stir in the pignolis. After it cools a little, loosely stuff the turkey.
- 2. If you prefer to make it in a crockpot, I add some of the stock from the pot simmering with the neck , liver and gizzards or you could use chicken or turkey broth. This liquid is just to replace the juices that would seep into the stuffing from the turkey.
