Categories     Side Casseroles

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb pure pork sausage
4 large yellow onions
2 loaves of bread (white)
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 Tbsp dried sage leaves
1 Tbsp dried thym leaves
1 Tbsp dried summer savoury leaves
2-3 Tbsp garlic powder

Steps:

  • 1. The day before you make the dressing remove the bread from the bags and place on a large tray to dry out. If you are using frozen pork sausage, remove from freezer the day before and thaw in the fridge.
  • 2. Add a TBSP. of Olive oil to a large skillet, form sausage into 4 or 5 patties and sprikle with a little salt and pepper. Over medium heat brown the patties on both sides and then turn heat down to low. Cover and cook for 20 -25 minutes and remove the patties to a plate to cool. Save the pan juices.
  • 3. Peel and slice the onions and add to pan drippings, stir to coat the onions and cover and cook stirring occasionally for about 30 minutes. *Note if you are not using a food grinder, then crumble the sausage meat befor cooking and dice the onions.
  • 4. Cut the bread slices in half to fit in the food ginder or cut into cubes.
  • 5. If using a grinder start by grinding some of the onions, then some of the sausage and then the bread and continue alternating. If not mix the sausage, onions and bread together.
  • 6. When finshed the grinding add the salt, pepper, sage thym, savory and garlic and place in large container and refrigerate over night.
  • 7. Day of cooking remove from the fridge, stir well and taste for additional seasoning. This recipe makes enough dressing to stuff a 25 Ib. bird. I prefer to cook in a covered casserole dish 375o for about 40 minutes

I'm not usually a fan of turkey dressing, but this recipe is amazing! It's so moist and flavorful, and the cornbread and sausage give it a nice texture. I will definitely be making this again next year.

This dressing is amazing! I've made it several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's so easy to make, too. I love that I can just throw everything in my slow cooker and let it cook all day.

This turkey dressing recipe is a keeper! It's so flavorful and moist, and it was a hit with my family. I especially loved the addition of celery and apples. They added a nice crunch and sweetness to the dressing.
