Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients.
Combine the eggs, milk and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan.
Bake at 425 for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
In a Dutch oven, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain and set aside. In the same pan, saute the celery, onions, mushrooms and red pepper in butter until tender. Stir in the broth, seasonings and sausage. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
Cut corn bread into 1/2-in. cubes; fold into sausage mixture.
Just before baking, loosely stuff the turkey.
Place remaining stuffing in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish; cover and refrigerate.
Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.
Skewer turkey openings; tie drumsticks together with kitchen string.
Place breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan.
Brush with melted butter.
Bake, uncovered, at 325 for 3-3/4 to 4-1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 180 for the turkey and 165 for the stuffing, basting occasionally with pan drippings (cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly).
