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.
