Question
How do I cook raw sausage meat? Can I stuff my turkey with this raw meat

Answer
Paul:

Not a good idea.  Turkey contains salmonella bacteria from processing.
Sausage needs to be cooked to de-fat it and to kill any potential trichinosis in the pork.  So placing it in the turkey cavity will necessitate that you over cook the turkey to make sure the pork is done.

Better to pre-cook the pork sausage then put it in the cavity mixed with whatever you want to mix with it.
