Melt the butter or margarine in an electric skillet. Add the celery and
onions and stir in the parsley, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Cook
the onion and celery slowly about ten minutes to make them tender.
Add the potatoes and cook slowly ten to fifteen minutes until they are
tender. The add the bread cubes or stuffing mix.
Scramble the eggs in a bowl, and then stir them into the frying mixture.
Simmer the mixture for 30 to 40 minutes more to cook it throughout.
Stuff as much as this as you can in your turkey, pinning the openings
closed with the extra skin. Wrap the extra stuffing in cheese cloth and
place it in the roasting bag or roaster.
Before closing up your roaster bag, mix another teaspoon each of salt,
pepper and poultry seasoning in a bowl and spread this on the bird by
hand.
Roasting with hot stuffing like this cuts down on oven time, so check
the turkey every half hour after the first hour. It can take as little as an
hour and a half.
