MUSHROOM AND SAUSAGE STUFFING



Mushroom and Sausage Stuffing image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Extra-virgin olive oil, for cooking
4 celery ribs, cut into 1/4-inch dice
4 onions, cut into 1/4-inch dice
Kosher salt
3 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
1 pound cremini or button mushrooms, stemmed and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 1/2 pounds sweet Italian sausage, casings removed and meat crumbled
2 cups dry white wine
Peasant bread, crusts removed, cut into 1-inch chunks (about 12 cups) and toasted
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
1 bunch fresh sage, finely chopped
3 to 4 cups chicken stock

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Coat a large wide pot with olive oil and toss in the celery and onions. Season with salt and cook the veggies over medium-high heat until soft and very aromatic, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into really small pieces with a metal spoon or spatula, until it's really brown and yummy, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Add the white wine and cook until it has evaporated by half. (The mix will be pretty soupy, and that's okay.)
  • Combine the bread with the sausage mixture in a large bowl. Toss in the walnuts and sage and pour about half the chicken stock into the bowl. Using your hands, work to combine everything well -- really get in there and squish it up; it's fun! Add the remaining stock as needed to create a really moist mix. Taste and season with salt, if needed.
  • Transfer the mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and cover with foil. Bake until the stuffing is hot all the way through, about 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake to brown the top, another 15 minutes.

Wild Mushroom-Bacon Sourdough Dressing image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 pounds sourdough bread, crusts removed, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 12 cups)
1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps roughly chopped
1/2 pound oyster mushrooms, roughly chopped
1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/4 cup canola oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 pound slab bacon, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 large Spanish onion, finely diced
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 to 5 cups homemade chicken stock or canned low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Unsalted butter, for the baking dish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the bread cubes in an even layer on a large baking sheet and bake, stirring a few times, until light golden brown, about 12 minutes. Allow to cool, then transfer to a very large bowl.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Combine the mushrooms on a baking sheet, toss with 3 tablespoons canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven, stirring several times, until soft and golden brown, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large high-sided saute pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan and place it back on the stove over high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add 3 cups chicken stock and the herbs, season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer.
  • Add the mushrooms to the bowl with the bread, then add the stock mixture, the bacon and the eggs; season with salt and pepper and gently stir until combined. The mixture should be very wet; add more stock if needed. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Add the stuffing and cover with foil. Bake 20 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking until golden brown, 30 to 40 more minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes before serving.

TRADITIONAL SAUSAGE-MUSHROOM TURKEY STUFFING



Traditional Sausage-Mushroom Turkey Stuffing image

My mother-in-law was famous for her wonderful turkey stuffing, which my husband always looked forward to at holiday time. When my in-laws moved to California, he was bemoaning that he wouldn't have that stuffing anymore! I asked my mother-in-law how she made it, but she didn't have it written down, and told me "a handful of this" and a "handful of that". Needless to say, when I attempted to recreate it, it was a disaster. I started building a recipe from scratch, and ended up incorporating mushrooms, which I love. Ultimately, my husband ending up preferring my stuffing! As they say, necessity is the mother of invention!

Provided by JackieOhNo

Categories     Pork

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb bulk pork sausage
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sliced celery
2 cups chopped onions
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 (13 3/4 ounce) can chicken broth (and additional broth, if necessary)
2 lbs loaf firm-textured white bread, cut in 1/2-inch cubes (stale or toasted, do not use fresh)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Pan fry sausage over medium-high heat until crumbled and cooked well. Set aside.
  • In large fry pan, melt butter. Add celery, onion, and mushrooms. Saute until soft. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cook down until about 1/3 of the liquid remains.
  • In large bowl, toss bread cubes with poultry seasoning, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add sausage and drippings to bowl and stir. Add vegetables and broth mixture to bowl and stir. Add egg and mix until fully combined. Mixture should be moist and bind together easily. (If not, add more chicken broth.).
  • Stuff neck and body cavities of turkey, or spoon into a greased 2-quart casserole and cover with foil. Truss turkey and roast as usual or, if baking, add casserole to oven about 30 minutes end of turkey roasting time and let bake for 45 minutes. I have also successfully made stuffing balls with this recipe, rolling the stuffing mixture into balls (I got about 15 of them), placing them on a greased, foil-lined baking sheet and baking in a 350-degree oven for about 25 minutes. They were moist and delicious!

Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ medium eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch slices
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
½ cup chopped walnuts
1 stalk celery, diced
1 clove garlic, crushed
3 large portobello mushrooms, diced
1 cup diced mixed mushrooms (such as shiitake, maitake, oyster, beech, and/or chanterelles)

2 tablespoons butter, divided, or more to taste
2 teaspoons dried oregano

Yield Makes 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups hot water
1/2 ounce dried porcini mushrooms*
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps sliced
1 pound button mushrooms, sliced
1 1/2 cups chopped leeks (white and pale green parts only)
6 garlic cloves, chopped
2 cups dry white wine
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 1/2 8-ounce French-bread baguettes, halved lengthwise, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 large egg, beaten to blend

Steps:

  • Combine 1 1/2 cups hot water and dried porcini in small bowl. Let stand until mushrooms soften, about 30 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer mushrooms to work surface; chop finely. Pour mushroom soaking liquid into small bowl, leaving any sediment behind, and reserve.
  • Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add shiitake and button mushrooms; sauté 10 minutes. Add leeks and garlic; sauté 5 minutes. Add wine, thyme, and porcini mushrooms. Cook until almost all wine evaporates, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover mushroom mixture and porcini soaking liquid separately and chill. Reheat mushroom mixture to lukewarm before continuing.) Transfer mixture to very large bowl.
  • Mix bread into mushroom mixture. Season with salt and pepper; mix in egg.
  • To bake stuffing in turkey:
  • Loosely fill main cavity and neck cavity of turkey with stuffing. Add enough mushroom soaking liquid to remaining stuffing to moisten slightly (1/4 cup to 3/4 cup, depending on amount of remaining stuffing). Generously butter baking dish. Spoon remaining stuffing into prepared dish. Cover dish with buttered foil, buttered side down. Bake stuffing in dish - alongside turkey or while turkey is resting - until heated through, about 25 minutes. Uncover stuffing in dish. Bake until top of stuffing is slightly crisp and golden, about 15 minutes longer.
  • To bake stuffing in dish:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Add enough reserved mushroom soaking liquid to stuffing to moisten (3/4 cup to 1 1/4 cups). Transfer stuffing to prepared dish. Bake uncovered until heated through, about 40 minutes.
  • Dried porcini mushrooms are available at Italian markets, specialty foods stores, and many supermarkets.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of your stuffing.
  • Don't overstuff the sausage. This will make it difficult to cook evenly and may cause the stuffing to burst.
  • Use a variety of wild mushrooms. This will add depth and flavor to your stuffing.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. This is a great way to customize your stuffing to your own taste.
  • Make sure the stuffing is cooked all the way through before serving. This is especially important if you are using raw sausage.

Conclusion:

Sausage and wild mushroom stuffing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a main course. It is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a tasty and satisfying dish, give sausage and wild mushroom stuffing a try.
