Mom's Sausage & Sage Dressing
My Mom's Sausage & Sage Dressing is the only one we have ever had on Thanksgiving. It's my Grandma's recipe, and this stuffing is the main reason our family loves the Thanksgiving meal.
Servings: 10 servings
Calories: 249kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds sage flavored pork sausage
- 2 (12 ounce) packages Pepperidge Farm bread crumbs,1 Herb Seasoned, 1 Country Style
- 3 cups celery chopped
- 1 cup onion minced divided
- 1 quart chicken broth
- 2 sticks (1 cup) butter melted
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown sausage until cooked. Remove from pan and set aside.
- In that same skillet, melt butter. Add celery and onion and cook until tender. About 10 minutes. Cool slightly so you are able to touch it for the next step.
- In a big bowl, combine sausage, celery, and onion with your bread crumbs. Working with your hands, add small amounts of broth until dressing is moist, and forms into a ball.
- Stuff your turkey full. (we typically make a 20 pound bird) Wrap remaining stuffing in heavy duty foil. * see notes to prepare in a casserole dish
- Bake turkey according to size and package instructions for a stuffed bird.
- To bake the foil package, place in oven with turkey about 45 minutes before turkey is done.
- When turkey is cooked, remove stuffing immediately.
Notes
To prepare the dressing in a casserole dish: Spray a large casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray, pack dressing into the dish tightly. Bake at 325 degrees F for one hour.
This recipe is easily cut in half for smaller turkeys.
