1 loaf soft Italian bread
½ cup salted butter
¾ pound mild Italian sausage links, casings removed
¾ pound andouille sausage links, casings removed
2 cups diced yellow onion
2 cups diced celery
4 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup minced fresh sage
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).

  • Bake in the preheated oven, stirring several times, until toasted, about 45 minutes. Keep oven on.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until foaming, about 2 minutes; do not allow butter to burn. Add Italian and andouille sausages. Cook, breaking sausages up into fine pieces, until just a few bits of pink remain, about 8 minutes.
  • Add onion, celery, garlic, sage, rosemary, thyme, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir frequently until vegetables are softened, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 2 cups chicken broth, orange juice, and 1 tablespoon orange zest.
