My turkey gets stuffed with Polish Sausage Stuffing...recipe from a 
college friend's mom who was born in Poland.  Irena made this stuffing 
the year I was invited to Thanksgiving at their house, and it's been a 
favorite ever since, even before I was paleo.  What carnivore wouldn't 
like stuffing a bird with meatloaf?  The basics are equal amounts of 
breakfast sausage and ground pork, onion, celery, a Granny Smith apple, 
and enough eggs to hold it all together.  I've tried different meats 
when I've had moose or buffalo, and one year even used moose Italian 
sausage, which was different, but still tasty.  I don't have any moose 
sausage this year, but have a pound of burger, so will sub moose for 
part of the ground pork.

The breakfast sausage has about the same seasonings as most traditional 
stuffing recipes, so additional spices aren't needed. And the stuffing 
bastes the bird from the inside out!  I made a turducken one Christmas 
and used this stuffing between the birds. It was awesome!

I will serve a fruit salad and a spinach/smoked salmon green salad, plus 
lots of hot dishes.  I do fudge on paleo with dairy products in some 
side dishes and add sweetener to desserts, but I do lots of different 
veggies and definitely stay grain-free.  Did I mention I tend to go 
overboard for Thanksgiving?  I started the prep work on Sunday, and I 
will eat very well for the entire holiday weekend, which is my annual 
Christmas-gift jelly-making extravaganza.  I need enough leftovers so 
that I don't need to cook anything once the jelly process starts because 
it's too much equipment to move off the stove to cook anything new.  I 
have enough berries picked this year to do about 17 cases of wild 
Alaskan fruit jellies, so it definitely takes the rest of the weekend.  
Happy Turkey Day!
