Ingredients
Here's what you'll need:
1 lb. of sausage meat
1 cup of diced celery
1 cup of diced onion
1/2 cup of butter
1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon of dried sage
1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
8 cups of bread crumbs
3 cups of chicken broth
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat into small pieces while it cooks. Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage from the skillet and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Cook the Vegetables
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced celery and onion and cook until they are translucent. This should take about 7-8 minutes. Add the thyme, sage, rosemary, salt, and black pepper and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Once cooked, add the vegetables to the mixing bowl with the sausage.
Step 3: Add the Bread Crumbs
Add the bread crumbs to the mixing bowl with the sausage and vegetables. Mix well to combine all of the ingredients.
Step 4: Add the Chicken Broth
Pour the chicken broth over the bread crumb mixture and mix well. Let the stuffing sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
Step 5: Stuff the Turkey
If you're using this stuffing to stuff a turkey, pack the stuffing loosely into the turkey cavity. Make sure not to overstuff the bird, as this can cause it to cook unevenly. Roast the turkey according to your preferred method.
Step 6: Bake the Stuffing
If you're not using this stuffing to stuff a turkey, transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes at 350°F. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
