Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

4 celery ribs
1 white onion
1/2 cup butter
1 lb bulk pork sausage
1 (16 ounce) package crumb seasoned stuffing mix, like pepperidge farms
1/4 teaspoon sage, no more
1 cup chicken broth

Steps:

Prepare a small dice of celery and onion, and saute with butter until soft.
Remove from pan and reserve. Add crumbled sausage to pan and cook through.
Drain sausage on paper towels and combine with celery mixture. This can now be refrigerated until you are ready to stuff the turkey.
When you are ready to stuff the turkey combine celery mixture, sausage, stuffing mix and sage in a large bowl.
Add chicken broth a little at a time just until stuffing is moist, not mushy or runny.
Rinse turkey and empty the cavity. Place turkey in roasting pan.
Fill the body cavity with stuffing mixture. Also fill the cavity at the neck under the skin with stuffing. Pat any additional stuffing between the turkey legs. Prepare turkey as desired.
To cook in a casserole dish instead of stuffing the turkey, place stuffing mixture in a greased casserole dish and bake according to package directions. If stuffing is drying out dot with butter and add small amounts of broth to moisten.

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 lb breakfast pork sausage
1 (14 ounce) package herb seasoned stuffing mix
3 -4 cups chicken broth (start with 3 cups and keep adding until your desired moistness.... I use all 4 cups)
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble sausage and cook, stirring occasionally until sausage is brown.
Place stuffing mix in a large bowl. Add sausage, including drippings (leave out drippings for lower fat but it's good with the drippings in!).
Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Mix well.
Pour broth and butter over the top and toss to combine.
Spoon mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish; cover. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes.
OR Stuff neck and body cavities lightly with stuffing and cook turkey as directed. Spoon any remaining stuffing into separate greased baking dish. Cover and refrigerate stuffing until ready to bake. Add the baking dish with remaining stuffing to oven for the last 30 minutes of cooking the turkey.

Tips:

Use a variety of sausage links, such as sweet, spicy, or breakfast sausage, to add different flavors and textures to the stuffing.
Sauté the vegetables before adding them to the stuffing mixture to enhance their flavor and caramelize them slightly.
Use a combination of fresh and dried herbs to add depth of flavor to the stuffing. Some good options include sage, thyme, rosemary, and parsley.
If you want a moist stuffing, add some chicken or vegetable broth to the mixture. You can also add an egg to help bind the ingredients together.
Stuff the turkey or chicken loosely so that it has room to expand while cooking. If you pack it in too tightly, it will become dense and dry.
Bake the stuffing at a high temperature for a short amount of time to create a crispy crust on top. Then, reduce the heat and continue baking until the stuffing is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Sausage stuffing is a classic side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. Following these tips will ensure that your stuffing is flavorful, moist, and perfectly cooked. So next time you're looking for an easy and delicious way to dress up your holiday meal, give sausage stuffing a try!
