Time 3h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 ounces sweet Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
¼ cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons chopped green onions
1 ½ cups cold milk
salt to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
½ cup diced celery
1 cup diced onion
salt to taste
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
freshly ground black pepper to taste
5 cups chicken broth
12 cups dry bread cubes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
3 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Melt butter for country gravy in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook and crumble into very small pieces until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add flour and whisk until it combines with butter and sausage fat to create a roux. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add green onions. Cook and stir for 1 minute; don't overcook.
  • Pour in milk and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Continue to cook and stir until nice and thick. Stir in salt, cayenne, and black pepper. Cook for 1 more minute, then remove from the heat.
  • Transfer gravy into a bowl and let cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes. Wrap and refrigerate until cold and thick, about 2 hours, or until needed.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a 12-cup muffin tin with a 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add celery, onion, and salt; cook and stir until onion just starts to turn translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add poultry seasoning and pepper; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, combine bread cubes, parsley, sage, and thyme in a large bowl.
  • Pour boiling broth mixture over bread-herb mixture and stir until combined. Mix in eggs. Fill the prepared muffin cups to the top with stuffing mixture, then go around and evenly divide remaining stuffing on top of each muffing, piling it up nice and high.
  • Wet your finger and make a big hole in the center of each muffin, poking down pretty far but stopping about 1 inch from the bottom of the pan. Place about 2 tablespoons chilled gravy into each hole, centering it in the hole the best you can. Reserve remaining gravy for another use.
  • Dampen your hands and mold the stuffing for each muffin over the top to cover the gravy center. Generously brush the tops with melted butter.
  • Place in the center of the preheated oven with a baking pan on a lower rack to catch any drippings. Bake until muffins have firmed up and are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Let cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then carefully remove and serve.

Provided by McCormick

Categories     Breakfast

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb breakfast sausage
½ teaspoon McCormick® Rubbed Sage
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
kosher salt, to taste
1 batch Stuffin' Muffins Base
2 large eggs
1 oz McCormick® Turkey Gravy Mix
1 cup cold water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • Heat the olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage, McCormick® Rubbed Sage, and red pepper flakes and cook, breaking up the meat into small pieces, until browned and cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Pour off any excess grease, then season with salt to taste.
  • Add the sausage to the stuffing base and stir to combine. Fold in the eggs until incorporated.
  • Spoon about ¼ cup (60 G) of the stuffing into each muffin cup, filling just above the rims. Press down gently with a spoon to release any air pockets.
  • Bake the stuffing cups for 30-35 minutes, or until cooked through and the tops are browned. Let rest in the muffin tin for 20 minutes, then run a knife around the edges of each cup to release.
  • While the stuffing muffins cool, add the McCormick® Gravy Mix to a small saucepan. Pour in the water, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Turn the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 minute. Remove the pot from the heat and let sit for 3-5 minutes, until slightly thickened.
  • Spoon the gravy over the sausage stuffin' muffins and serve warm.
  • Enjoy!
