How to Make Easy Sausage Stuffing

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble 1 lb Italian sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned (approximately 8-10 minutes).
  2. Place 16 oz box of stuffing mix in a large bowl.
  3. Add the cooked sausage, including the drippings, to the bowl.
  4. Add 2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  5. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
  6. Pour 1 cup chicken broth and 1/4 cup melted butter over the stuffing, tossing gently to combine.
  7. Spoon the stuffing mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  8. Cover the baking dish with foil.
  9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes.
  10. **Option 1 (Baking alongside turkey):** Lightly stuff the neck and body cavities of your turkey with some of the stuffing mixture. Place the remaining stuffing in a separate greased baking dish and add to the oven during the last 30 minutes of turkey cooking time.
  11. **Option 2 (Baking separately):** Bake the stuffing as directed in step 9.
  12. If baking separately, remove the foil during the last 15 minutes of cooking to allow the top to brown.
