Remove to paper towels and cool. Cut sausage into 3/4 inch pieces. In large saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter or margarine. Saute mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Sprinkle in flour and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in chicken or turkey broth and cream or half and half. Cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in cheese, mustard, salt, pepper, turkey and sausage. Pour into greased 7 x 11 inch (2 quart) casserole. Melt 4 tablespoons butter. If using dry herb-seasoned stuffing, place it in a small bowl and toss with butter. Sprinkle over casserole. If using leftover stuffing, sprinkle it over the casserole and sprinkle butter over the top. *May be refrigerated, covered with foil, for 2 days. *May be frozen for 1 month. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until top is browned and sauce is bubbling. Serves 6.
