Sausage Meat Stuffing advice needed please....

kippers

My wonderful dad has just popped down with some home made sausage meat stuffing. It weighs 11ozs and he has told me I need to cook it and re-heat it tomorrow.

Has anybody got any idea how long I should cook it for and at what gas mark? Also, how long should I re-heat it tomorrow and at what temperature? (Would I be able to re-heat in microwave)?

Thanks and Happy Christmas to you all.

Why do you need to cook it now? I'd just cook it tomorrow with the bird -either stuffed in the bird or in a baking dish. If you do it in the baking dish I'd do it at about 170-180 for 30-40 mins.

Where did he find the sausagemeat? You would have thought that I was asking for ground Peruvian dwarf at a local ASDA. I knew I was in for some fun, when the teenaged SAT failure I asked just pointed to a pack of sausages! They didn't have any. Obviously, Christmas must have come earlier than expected is year. I don't think that comment, and especially one to the effect that this was not what one expects from a store that hopes to still be trading this time next year, went down very well with the Provisions Manager: I have a bad feeling that I hit a raw nerve. So, Plan B: a 17p pack of SmartPrice Sage & Onion. Anyway, rant over. I feel so much beter now.

As above, put enough in the bird to flavour, not actually stuff it, or else it will take ages to cook. Do the rest in a roasting dish. We used to do this, and I must confess to sneaking into the kitchen and picking at the stuffing rather than the turkey!

I like to cook my sausagmeat in little balls rolled in sage and onion stuffing - it is yummy, but I cook it alongside the bird on Christmas Day not reheat,
