To the cooled mixture, add eggs, ground turkey, crushed bread cubes, salt, pepper, and sage. Mix very well until everything is well combined.

Spread out into a baking pan and form into a uniform loaf.

Place into a preheated 325º grill, smoker, or oven for 1.5-2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165º.

Slowly pour in chicken broth while mixing. Bring to a light boil until thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
