SAUSAGE STUFFING

We like baking this classic sausage and bread stuffing in a casserole dish rather than stuffing it in the cavity of a turkey.

Yield: Serves 6.

SAUSAGE STUFFING

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (0.5 kg) pork sausage meat or pork sausages, casings removed
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced

  • 1 cup chicken broth

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
  2. Whisk together eggs and broth until blended; set aside.
  3. In a frypan, cook sausage until browned. Drain off excess fat from frypan. Add onion, celery and garlic to pan; sauté 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
