- Remove from heat and add eggs and mix in well.
- Add breadcrumbs to make a stiff stuffing as they will soak up the fat from the sausage meat as it cooks.

- Add a generous helping of freshly grated nutmeg.
- Stuff the brined turkey.
- Put on an INDIRECT heat in the BBQ at 250C for about 5½ to 6 hours and baste every hour or so.
