Buckee's Stuffed Turkey & Dressing

1 lg loaf - French bread or 2 round loaves of sour-doe (broken into pieces)
1 lg - onion (chopped)
1 lb - bacon (chopped into pieces)
1 lg - Red Pepper (chopped)
1/2 cup - (chopped) parsly
4 - celery stocks (chopped)
2 cups - Mushrooms (chopped)
3 - eggs
1/2 tsp. - black pepper
1 tbsp - salt
2 tbsp - Garlic plus spice (by "Club House")
1 tbsp - ground Sage

You will need a large mixing pot (I use the canner)
Mix Bread, peppers, celery, parsly, mushrooms, etc and all spices together in lg pot.
(leave out the egg until you are ready to stuff the bird)
Fry bacon and onion together until bacon is well cooked, and poor entire bacon, onion and bacon drippings over mixed dry ingredients.

The Bird

Wash Turkey inside and out with cold water and dry outside well with clean bath towel.
(disgard giblets, as they make some folks squeemish ...LOL..the bacon replaces them and tastes much better)

Place bird in large Turkey Pan.
Stuff Bird with Stuffing mix in body cavity, as well as the neck cavity & Truss bird.
Wrap left over stuffing in tin foil and make sure edges are crimped well on foil.

Mix together in cup,

1/4 - 1/3 cup - Butter or Margerine
1/4 tsp - salt
1/4 tsp - sage
1/2 tsp - Garlic Plus
1/8 tsp - Black pepper

Rub bird all over with above mixture, front and back.
Add stuffing wrapped in foil to the pan. (stuff it in there at one end or the other...LOL ) That extra stuffing comes in handy later with left-over turkey

Cover Turkey in Pan with a tin-foil tent and crimp edges good to seal.
Bake at 375 degrees for 5-6 hrs (depending on size of bird), without uncovering to peak.(It will baste itself in the tin-foil tent)
Uncover at the end and if it is not browned nicely, baste once and put under broiler (uncovered) for about 4 minutes or less, until desired browning is achieved.

Drain off all liquid and make gravy.
