Sams Sausage Stuffing

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.

Since I was introduced to it absolutely no other stuffing I have tried since can compare.

It is not salty and easy to prepare.

These are the INGREDIENTS you will need:

  • 1/2 pound turkey sausage
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 16-ounce light wheat bread toasted and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons poultry seasoning
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth warmed

These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large skillet over high heat, cook sausage, celery, and onion for 6-8 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink.
  • In a large bowl, combine bread, sausage mixture, poultry seasoning and hot broth. Toss gently until just mixed.
  • Spoon into casserole dish, cover, and heat 20 minutes. Remove cover and heat for an additional 10 minutes or until crispy on top and heated through.

The longest task can be turned into a game. Just put those kids standing around asking to help to work.

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!

They will love tearing the bread into small pieces. The one that finished their loaf first without a mess can help cut the pies after dinner!

They can also be a great cleanup too!

That is special in my home because the kids deliberately allow filling and crust to fall on the counter.

I have been serving this stuffing at Thanksgiving for many years. We have my husband’s family over for that holiday.

The first time they tried it I immediately got a favorable response.

It is nothing like I have served in the past.

I never used sausage in my stuffing. I always use dried cranberries.

And instead of the store bought bagged herb and seasoned bread crumbs, this stuffing uses bread.

Since this stuffing also is made in a casserole dish or roaster the bird doesn’t have to be as large to have enough stuffing for everyone.

None of the stuffing gets soggy and none gets burned as my stuffing sits in the bird.

And usually I can never get enough stuffing so I always have to make some on the stove top anyway.

I also find it much easier to prepare Sams Sausage Stuffing.

You NEED to give this recipe a try!

    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 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.

      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!

    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.

      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.
