Add the butter to the pot and once it has melted add the onions and garlic and saute until they are softened. Add the poultry seasoning and salt and pepper.
-
Add the chicken stock, egg, parsley, sausage, and bread cubes to the pan. Stir to combine and moisten the bread cubes completely. Set aside.
-
Loosen the skin from the breast of the turkey. Combine the softened butter with all the remaining ingredients. Coat the turkey under the skin and on top of the skin with the seasoned butter.
