It sounds like a stuffing we make in Italy. Here is the recipe, just incase your interested. Depending on how large you turkey is depends on how much meat you will use. This is what I do.

SAUSAGE AND HAZELNUT STUFFING

5 to 6 mild Italian sausage (HOT IF YOU LIKE SPICY)
1/2 lb. hamburger
1/2 lb. veal or pork sausage
1 cup chopped chestnuts or hazelnuts
1 cup finely chopped ITALIAN parsley (must be Italian parsley
bread crumbs, enough to make a firm meatloaf
Italian herbs (in spice aisle) (all in one) to taste
1 egg (depending, maybe 2)
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms

Mix everything as you would a meatloaf. Stuff your turkey, and any left over, put in a meatloaf pan and bake, makes really great sandwiches.

I hope you will try this, my BisNonna (Greatgrandmother) showed me this when I was 7 years old.
