Method

Saute the sausage for about 5 minutes in a skillet over moderate heat, breaking up the meat into small pieces.

When the meat is browned, remove with a slotted spoon. Drain the fat - you want the buttery taste, not a fatty taste. Add the butter and olive oil to the pan. When the butter has melted and looks foamy, add the onion and celery. Cook over medium heat until vegetables are tender.  Do not brown. 

Spoon the vegetable into a large bowl. Add the cornbread, parsley, thyme and season to taste salt and pepper.  Add broth as needed.

Allow mixture to cool before stuffing the turkey.

To cook the stuffing outside the turkey, place the stuffing in a casserole. Bake, tightly covered with foil, in a preheated 350°F oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and cook another 10 minutes or until top is crisp.
