 For a 15 pound turkey.
 Spread bread on a cookie sheet and let it dry out overnight. Place it in a
 large bowl, pour 1 cup milk over, and toss lightly. Set aside.
 Melt 1/2 cup butter in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and
 cook, stirring often, until the meat is lightly browned. Remove it with a
 slotted spoon. Cook and remove the celery the same way. There should still
 be a generous film of fat in the pan; if not, add butter. Raise heat ot
 medium high, add the mushrooms and cook, sitrring often, until browned.
 Add the mushrooms to the bread bowl and pour the winde into the skillet.
 Stir it around to loosen all the browned bits, then pour into the bread
 bowl. Add seasonings, fruit and nuts and toss madly until all is combined.
 Taste, adjust seasons, then stir/toss in the eggs. Ad more milk only if
 very dry.
