Description

Savory Sausage Stuffing is a rich, herb-filled dish combining Italian sausage, onions, celery and cubed bread, all baked with sage and thyme for fragrant and delicious stuffing. A crispy top and soft interior are essential additions to any festive meal.

Ingredients
  • 500 g Italian sausage (casings removed)
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 3 celery stalks (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup butter (unsalted)
  • 1 tbsp fresh sage (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme (chopped)
  • 10 cups stale bread (cubed)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • (to taste) salt and peper
Instructions
  1. 1
    Cook the Sausage

    Cook Italian sausage over medium heat until browned, 15-20 minutes (at 70°C).

    Remove from the skillet and set aside.

    Tip: Break the sausage into small pieces as it cooks for even distribution.
  2. 2
    Sauté Vegetables

    Melt butter and sauté chopped onion and celery until softened, about 5 minutes.

    Tip: Stir frequently to prevent the vegetables from browning too quickly.
  3. 3
    Mix the Stuffing

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, fresh sage, thyme, cubed bread and chicken broth.

    Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Tip: Use stale bread or toast fresh bread cubes for the best texture.
  4. 4
    Bake the Stuffing

    Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

    Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes.

    Remove the foil and bake for 15 minutes until the top is golden and crispy.

    Tip: For an extra crispy top, broil for 2-3 minutes.
