Helpful hints

Make coleslaw out of the leftover cabbage that was removed to make the cavity for the turkey stuffing.
Select spicy hot turkey sausage for more flavor.
Sausage is higher in sodium and phosphorus that many other meats. When used in small amounts, it may be included in recipes that meet the goals of a kidney diet.
Divide leftover sausage into 1-1/2-ounce portions and freeze for later use.
