How To Make The Best Sausage Stuffing Ever

sausage

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Turkey sausage reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is a healthier fat option.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Vegetable broth is lower in calories.

bread cubes

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: day-old bread

Whole grain bread adds fiber and nutrients.

In a large bowl, add stuffing bread and some chicken stock, mixing gradually to avoid making it too wet.

If not using packaged stuffing mix, cut a loaf of bread into cubes and toast them in the oven.

Let the bread soak for a while.

In a skillet, add 1 lb of Italian sausage and cook until browned, then transfer to a separate bowl using a slotted spoon.

Do not drain the grease from the sausage; leave it in the skillet for flavor.

Add half a stick of butter to the skillet and turn the heat back up to medium.

Add chopped onions to the skillet and caramelize until sweet and translucent.

Add chopped celery to the skillet with the onions.

While the veggies are cooking, add an apple (chopped) to the bread cubes and mix.

Once the veggies are done, add the sausage back into the skillet and fold it in with the veggies.

Transfer the mixture to a pre-greased 9x13 baking dish, leveling it out.

You can cover and bake for 30 minutes or leave it uncovered for a crispier top crust.

Optionally, stuff some of the mixture into a turkey if desired, using the remaining in the baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F for 30 minutes.
