SAUSAGE BREAD DRESSING



Sausage Bread Dressing image

My husband and father go crazy for this dressing. Leftovers are rare but they freeze quite well. To save time, chop the veggies and prepare (but don't bake) the dressing up to two days ahead of time and refrigerate. Add a little baking time since it will be cold. -Bette Votral, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

SAUSAGE BREAD STUFFING



Sausage Bread Stuffing image

If you prefer a plain bread stuffing, just omit the sausage.From the book "Mad Hungry" by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

Provided by Martha Stewart

Yield Stuffs a 16- to 20-pound turkey

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casing removed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, chopped
3 celery stalks, sliced on the bias
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 heaping tablespoon minced fresh sage leaves, or 1 teaspoon crumbled dried sage
1 cup white wine
1 whole loaf bread, crusts removed, cubed (5 to 6 cups)
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 to 1 teaspoon coarse salt (depends on saltiness of sausage)

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet, add the olive oil, and cook the sausage, stirring and breaking it up until browned, about 8 minutes. Remove to a plate.
  • Add the butter to the skillet and when it melts, add the onion and celery. Saute until the onion is translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and sage and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the wine and deglaze the pan, stirring up any browned bits with a wooden spoon.
  • Add the cubed bread to the mixture and toast and turn a bit. Stir in the cooked sausage, the chicken broth, and salt to taste and cook for 1 minute. Cool the mixture. (This can be done quickly by spreading the mixture on a rimmed cookie sheet and chilling it in the refrigerator.)
  • Stuff the mixture into the cavity and neck of a cooked turkey, or place it in a large buttered baking dish and bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes, or until browned on top and heated through.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread for a better texture. Fresh bread will make the dressing too soggy.
  • If you don't have time to let the bread stale, you can toast it in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
  • Use a variety of bread, such as white, wheat, and cornbread, to add flavor and texture to the dressing.
  • Sauté the vegetables in butter or oil before adding them to the dressing. This will help them to brown and caramelize, adding flavor to the dish.
  • Use a flavorful sausage, such as Italian sausage or chorizo, to add a boost of flavor to the dressing.
  • Season the dressing generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as sage, thyme, or rosemary.
  • Bake the dressing until it is golden brown and crispy on top. This will take about 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the dressing rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help it to set and develop even more flavor.
