Want a no fail stuffing made outside the bird that is guaranteed to stay moist no matter how many times you reheat it? Well, it does exist and this is it! Just 5 ingredients! This very HEART HEALTHY dish has been in my sister’s family for 60 years and since I was introduced to it nothing I have tried since can compare. It is not salty and easy to prepare. You can turn the longest task into a game and have the kids help tear up the bread into cubes. Day old bread works the best. The best part is, you can double or triple the recipe to ensure you get leftovers to use with the turkey again tomorrow! You NEED to give this recipe a try!

Thank you Kari. I am glad you like the recipe. I bet yours is excellent too! Enjoy your week!
Oh my gosh, ,my mouth is watering! What a perfect, classic stuffing!!

I love it Mollie! Thanks for commenting. Have a lovely week.
I tried oyster dressing once and my son said – Hey! Who put tuna in the stuffing? Hmm..I think this might go over much better!! Thanks for joining the What’s for Dinner party! Hope we see you every week. Have a wonderful day.
This dressing is a great one and moist too. I hope your son would like it. Have a lovely week!
I actually used to make a stuffing that had sausage in it and it was delicious. It had a lot more ingredients and was not as easy as this one. I don’t cook Thanksgiving anymore but I could certainly roast a chicken one day and make this to go with it!
Thanks for Sharing! #OURMINILINKYPARTY
I actually don’t care for stuffing, but some of my family member really like it, and of course I aim to please I do look for good stuffing recipes. This one sounds like a good one. Thank you for sharing.
I just know they will love it. I almost never choose stuffing over potato dishes, but this one is different. Not dry and the sausage adds flavor. It is a nice option. But I still serve potatoes! Enjoy your week!
Great recipe. I use sausage in my dressing recipe as well. It gives it such a hearty flavor. I have not tried turkey sausage which is something I could try. The dressing is one of my favorite parts of the holiday meals. TFS.
I really fell in love with this dressing. I normall like potatoes but on the holiday I make an exception. The turkey sausage is a bit leaner but just as delicious. Have a lovely week.
Looks yummy! Thanks for sharing at Friday Frenzy Link Party!
Thank you Kelly. It is a wonderful stuffing. #FirdayFrenzy Have a great week!
Stuffing is one of the best parts of a Thanksgiving dinner, your sausage version looks really delicious Marilyn.
Thank you Leanna. It is a great addition to turkey or chicken. Have a good week!
I am going to try this stuffing Marilyn
Thanks Amber. Let me know how it works for you! Have a great week.
Another yummy recipe! I love stuffing, all your recipes are making me so excited for my Christmas dinner and sad that we don’t have thanksgiving in the Uk lol

It is ok to celebrate occasions as you like. I celebrate Candadien Thanksgiving. I hope you enjoy when Christmas comes!
I am not much of a stuffing person but I always try to have an interesting one for my Thanksgiving guests. This may just fit the bill.
You are always so considerate Elise! Happy Thanksgiving!
Love a good stuffing especially on a Sunday for a roast dinner. Thank you for sharing with #MealPlanningMonday x
I love stuffing as a replacement for the ordinary potatoes. Thanks for leaving your thoughts! Happy Thanksgiving!
Marilyn – this looks amazing! I was looking for a new stuffing recipe for Thanksgiving, and this is PERFECT! Thanks for posting 🙂
I am so excited you have chosen this stuffing Natalie!! Please come back and give me all the details.
Sounds yummy! Stuffing is one of my favorite Thanksgiving side dishes. Thanks for sharing the recipe with SYC.

I just discovered stuffing…with gravy!! Yum! Glad to find a fellow blogger that loves it to. Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Marilyn,
Your Sams Sausage Stuffing looks like it would have a great flavor! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Full Plate Thursday. Come to next weeks Thanksgiving party on Tuesday at 8:00 am, CST, see you then!
Miz Helen
This looks amazing! I think I may have to give it a whirl.
I hope you get to give it a try! Happy Thanksgiving!
That looks so good. I think I will have to try to make it.
I hope you get a chance to enjoy this stuffing Patrick. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
This recipe sounds yummy! I’m going to pin this to save this recipe for later. This recipe would be perfect for Thanksgiving. I love that this stuffing recipe = moistness.
Stuffing is difficult. It can be so dry it crunches, or so moist it is soggy. When I stuffed my turkey once I had both!! I love this one made outside the bird. It is a no fail recipe. Have a happy Thanksgiving!
Sounds yummy. We love stuffing here 🙂 Thanks for sharing on Creative Mondays. Hope you can join us tomorrow.
I am glad you like it claire! Have a great day.
This looks like a fantastic basic stuffing recipe. And I definitely love sausage in my stuffing. Thanks so much for sharing at the #happynowlinkup!
I am so glad I hit your sweet spot Leslie. I never wanted stuffing. But now it isn’t turkey without it! Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Marilyn, thanks for sharing this recipe for stuffing with us at #overthemoon link party I love stuffing and I’m going to try this for our turkey this year at Christmas. I’ve shared on Facebook and social media. Thanks for being such a great co-host.
Thank you Sue for your comment, shares and kind words. I hope you enjoy this with your turkey at Christmas!! Have a blessed week.
We usually just have sage & onion out of a packet so this looks like a real treat. Not too difficult either by the look of it , pinning. Thanks
The sausage in this really adds a special flavor. The first time I had it at my sister’s home I couldn’t figure it out! Have a lovely week.
This sounds amazing Marilyn. My family doesn’t like stuffing inside the bird. So, this is a perfect recipe. Thanks for sharing on Sunday’s Best.
I dont like stuffing in the bird either. What is on the outside burns, the inside is soggy and it never makes enough. This one is delicious! Have a great week.
This sounds so amazing. 🙂
I would love for you to share this with my Facebook Group for recipes, crafts, tips, and tricks: https://www.facebook.com/groups/pluckyrecipescraftstips/
Thanks for joining Cooking and Crafting with J & J!
Thanks Jess! Have a great week!
I love stuffing, especially one with some meat in it to make it extra tasty! My husband would be all over this 🙂 x
The sausage is an unexpected flavor you will love. Have a great week!
I love stuffing, but I’ve never tried to make it. This looks fantastic! #CookBlogShare
It is easy. Just keep it moist! LOL. Have a great week!
It sounds so deliciously easy!! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party!
I am glad it appeals to you! Have a great week.
Oh, love the sound of this stuffing recipe and I can replace the white bread with gluten-free which will be perfect 😀 Dropping by from #HandmadeMonday
Yes it will be easy to convert to gluten free. Have a great week.
I use sausage in my stuffing as well. Our recipes are quite similar except I use cornbread. It is a yummy recipe.
Cornbread sounds like an awesome ingredient. I have3 used it but never with the sausage! Now you have me rethinking Thanksgiving. Thanks Clearissa. Have a great week.
I could eat stuffing as a stand alone dish. This looks soo good!
You will love this stuffing then Jen. I hope you to get to sample it! Have a great week.
Looks so delicious! Pinned!
Thank you so much for the pin Amy. Have a great week!
I love hearing that this is heart healthy, been trying to eat better ESPECIALLY during the challenging time of the year. I also prefer dressings that I can cook outside the bird. Looks yummy!

I agree Carrie. With all the other temptations that come with Thanksgiving the stuffing mat as well be healthy!! Have a great week!
I love stuffing and try not to eat too much but this sounds great. I am making it for Thanksgiving. Thanks for the recipe.
