Steps:
- Make sure the turkey is at room temperature when it goes into the oven; otherwise it will take longer to roast Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Rinse the turkey inside and out and pat dry. Season the cavity with salt and pepper and set the bird on a rack in a roasting pan large enough to let air circulate all around. Rub the softened butter over the breast and legs and season with salt and pepper. Roast the turkey in the top third of the oven for about 30 minutes, or until beginning to brown. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees, cover the turkey loosely with foil and continue roasting, basting often, for about 1 1/2 hours, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 175 degrees. Transfer the turkey to a serving platter, cover again with foil, and let stand for at least 20 minutes before carving.
- Meanwhile, cut the turkey neck and gizzard in half. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan and add the neck, gizzard, heart and wing tips. Cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 7 minutes. Stir in the onion and celery and cook until golden. Add the wine and boil until reduced by half, about 7 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in the tomatoes, parsley, thyme and bay leaf and cook over very low heat until reduced to 3 1/2 cups, about 1 hour. Strain the turkey stock into a bowl; reserve 1 1/2 cups for the stuffing.
- 3. In a small bowl, mix the water with the flour until smooth. Remove the rack from the roasting pan and spoon off the fat. Set the pan over 2 burners on high heat. Add the remaining 2 cups of turkey stock and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the roasting pan. Whisk in the flour paste and cook until the gravy thickens, then add the port. Strain the gravy into a sauceboat. Carve the turkey and serve with the gravy and Sausage Apple Stuffing.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and generously butter 2 medium baking dishes that are at least 2 inches deep. Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the celery and onions and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sausage and cook, stirring, just until it loses its pink color, about 7 minutes.
- In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with the prunes, apples, parsley and sage. Add the sausage mixture and season with the salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add the eggs and reserved turkey stock and mix well. Divide the stuffing between the prepared baking dishes. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for about 10 minutes longer, or until heated through and browned on top. Let cool slightly before serving.

TURKEY WITH SAUSAGE-PECAN STUFFING
I have betrayed my Southern heritage! You see, here in the South, we make Dressing - not Stuffing. All my life I was served dressing at Thanksgiving and Christmas and I just can't help it - I don't like it!! When I became a grown-up, I broke Southern tradition and tried making stuffing - this is the first recipe I tried (from Taste of Home) and I have been hooked ever since. The combination of sweet, savory, crunchy and spicy ingredients makes a fabulous stuffing! If I have them, I also add some dried cranberries to the stuffing mixture. I have switched my turkey recipe (I now make Emeril's Brined and Roasted Turkey #272414), but this is still my official stuffing for the holidays! And even though I have switched, this is still a good turkey as well. : )
