Yield Makes 5 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more if needed
1 pound hot Italian sausage, casings removed
1 medium onion, chopped
2 celery stalks, cut into 1/4-inch dice
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
1/2 cup golden raisins
2 cups fresh brioche breadcrumbs
2 ounces toasted pecans, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Unsalted butter, softened, for baking dish, if needed

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage, and cook, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to a medium bowl.
  • Add onion and celery to drippings in skillet, adding more oil if necessary. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent and celery is tender, about 6 minutes. Add mushrooms and thyme, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are softened, about 2 minutes. Add wine and raisins, and stir, scraping browned bits from bottom of pan. Simmer until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in cooked sausage, remove from heat, and let cool slightly in pan.
  • Working in batches, pulse sausage mixture in a food processor until very finely chopped. (If baking the stuffing outside a turkey, pulse only until coarsely chopped.) Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in breadcrumbs and pecans, and season with salt and pepper. Add egg, and stir to combine. Let cool to room temperature.
  • To cook stuffing in a turkey: Stuff as directed (see Rolled Turkey recipe). To bake all of the stuffing outside a turkey: Spoon into a buttered 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Cover with parchment, then foil, and bake in a 375-degree oven for 25 minutes. Uncover, and continue to bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

This stuffing is a great way to use up leftover sausage. It's also a nice change of pace from the traditional bread stuffing.

I love this stuffing recipe! It's so easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I like to use a combination of ground pork and ground turkey for a healthier version.

This stuffing was easy to make and turned out delicious. I used a spicy sausage and it gave the stuffing a nice kick. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this stuffing recipe for years and it's always a hit. The pecans add a nice crunch and the sausage gives it a savory flavor. I like to add a little bit of chopped apple for extra sweetness.

This stuffing is a must-try for your holiday dinner! It's so flavorful and moist, with the perfect balance of sweetness from the pecans and saltiness from the sausage. I will definitely be making this again.
