   5       oz           Sunflower seeds
   4       c            Water
   2                    Bay leaves
   1       ts           Oregano leaves
   1       ts           Thyme leaves
   1       ts           Parsley

  Use both flavored and plain breads in the stuffing.
  
  Mix bread, oats, and seasonings in large bowl. Remove neck and
  giblets from turkey; set aside.
  
  Melt bacon grease in skillet. Cook onion until tender, then without
  draining, melt butter (not margarine!) in onions and added to dry
  ingredients. Mix very well. Stir in crumbled corn bread and
  sunflower seeds, and stuff turkey. Bake breast side down until
  done.
  
  Boil neck and giblets in water with seasonings until done, about
  20 minutes. Discard neck and giblets. Add strained broth to
  leftover uncooked stuffing.
  
  When turkey is done, remove it from roasting pan and add all
  drippings to uncooked stuffing. Uncooked stuffing will be extremely
  wet. Preheat oven to 325°F, spray casserole with Pam, fill with
  stuffing, and bake covered for 30 minutes.
