Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Yellow onion, chopped
- 3 stalks Celery, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh sage, chopped
- 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 cups Chicken or turkey stock
- 2 large Eggs, beaten
- 10 cups Day-old bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or non-stick spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, and sauté until they are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, fresh sage, parsley, dried thyme, and dried rosemary, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Transfer the sautéed vegetables and herbs into the mixing bowl with the cooked sausage.
Add the bread cubes to the mixing bowl. Pour in the chicken or turkey stock and gently stir everything together until the bread is just moistened.
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and then pour them into the mixing bowl. Stir gently to combine without breaking down the bread cubes.
Season the mixture with salt and ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.
Remove from the oven and let the stuffing rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your flavorful sausage stuffing!
