A delicious sausage stuffing recipe perfect for turkey or as a side dish during holidays.
Ingredients
Scale
- 0 lb. ground mild breakfast sausage
- 0 lb. ground spicy Italian sausage
- ¾ cup melted, unsalted butter
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 8 cups bread (cubed (white or desired type), divided)

- Prepare your ingredients by chopping the celery and onions and cubing the bread into smaller cubes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mild and spicy sausage. Cook the sausage until browned, for 6-7 minutes.
- Remove the sausage from the skillet and collect the sausage drippings in a small bowl. Add the melted butter to the sausage drippings so you have about 1 cup of the dripping/butter mixture.
- Pour the prepared butter mixture into the skillet and set it over medium-high heat.
- Cook the celery and onions in a heated butter mixture for 4 minutes. Add thyme and cook until fragrant.
- Stir in half the bread cubes and remove from the heat.
- Place the remaining bread cubes in a large bowl.
- Add the celery, onions, and soaked bread cubes with any butter from the skillet to the cubes in the bowl.
- Add the cooked sausage on top, along with the poultry seasoning and black pepper, to taste.
- Stir well, making sure the bread cubes are soaked with the butter mixture.
- Stuff your turkey with the stuffing before baking (continue to bake turkey as directed).
Notes
