How to Make The Best Turkey Dressing Stuffing
- Melt 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 large onion, chopped, and cook until soft and tender (about 15 minutes).
- Transfer the cooked onions and butter to a large bowl and set aside.
- Melt another 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) of butter in the same skillet.
- Add 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced, and cook until lightly browned but not mushy (about 5-7 minutes).
- Transfer the apples and butter to the bowl with the onions.
- Crumble 1 pound of sausage (Italian sausage recommended) into the skillet and cook until lightly browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
- Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon, reserving the rendered fat in the pan, and add it to the bowl.
- Add the following ingredients to the bowl: 1 cup celery, finely chopped; 1 cup dried sage stuffing mix; 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Mix well to combine.
- Add 2 large eggs, lightly beaten, and mix thoroughly.
- Gradually add enough chicken or turkey stock (about 1 1/2 - 2 cups) to the mixture to create a moist but not runny consistency.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of reserved sausage fat (optional).
- Stuff a 20-pound turkey (or use a 9x13 inch baking dish).
- If baking separately, pour 2 tablespoons of melted butter or reserved sausage fat over the dressing in the casserole dish.
- Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 45-60 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
