Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Sourdough bread, cubed
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 pound Italian sausage, casing removed
- 1 large Yellow onion, diced
- 3 stalks Celery stalks, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh sage, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cups Chicken or turkey stock
- 2 whole Eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the sourdough bread cubes on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10-15 minutes until slightly golden and dry. Remove and set aside to cool.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
To the same skillet, add the diced onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the chopped sage, rosemary, and parsley to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes to release the herbs' aroma.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted sourdough bread cubes, cooked sausage, and vegetable-herb mixture. Toss to distribute evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken or turkey stock, beaten eggs, salt, and black pepper. Pour this mixture over the bread mixture and gently stir until the bread is evenly coated and absorbs the liquid.
Transfer the stuffing mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Bake the stuffing in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden and slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the stuffing cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy the delicious sourdough sausage stuffing as a side dish to your holiday meal!
