How to Make 1St Time Host Stuffing
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage with olive oil, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes).
- Drain off excess grease from the skillet.
- Add the chopped onion and celery to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage mixture, cubed bread, chicken broth, sage, parsley, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until well combined and bread is moistened but not soggy.
- If stuffing the turkey, loosely fill the cavity. Alternatively, transfer the stuffing to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- If baking separately, bake for 60-75 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. If stuffing the turkey, bake according to your turkey's instructions, ensuring the stuffing reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Let stand for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
