Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add ground Italian sausage and cook until browned.

Remove sausage from skillet and set aside.

Add butter to the skillet, then add diced celery and onion, seasoning with a tiny bit of salt, and cook for about 4-5 minutes until onions are tender.

Add minced garlic and chopped herbs (parsley, sage, rosemary) to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes, then return the sausage to the skillet and mix everything together.

Let the sausage mixture cool for about 10 minutes to avoid cooking the egg when added.

In a large bowl, whisk the egg until well combined.

Add the cooled sausage mixture to the bowl with the egg, then add the cut bread and chicken stock, mixing everything together until combined.

Transfer the stuffing mixture to an oval baking dish, ensuring it's evenly spread out.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes until golden brown on top.

Let the stuffing rest for about 10 minutes before serving, then garnish with additional parsley.
