Best 6 Shiitake Mushroom Stuffing And Sausage Stuffing Recipes

SHIITAKE-MUSHROOM STUFFING AND SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Add onions, leeks, celery, and garlic. Cook until onions are translucent and tender, about 20 minutes.
• Add mushrooms, and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a plate, and let stand until cool, about 5 minutes.
• If making sausage stuffing: Return skillet to medium heat, and add remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Stir in sausage, and cook, breaking into small pieces, until browned, about 9 minutes. Remove from skillet using a slotted spoon, and transfer to paper-towel-lined plates. Let drain.
• Combine onion-mushroom mixture, bread, apricots, sage, and thyme in a large bowl. Just before baking, pour stock and melted butter over top of mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Mix to combine.
• To make sausage stuffing: Transfer 5 cups stuffing to another large bowl, and mix in sausage.
• Let stuffings stand for 10 minutes, allowing bread to soak up liquid.
• To cook mushroom stuffing: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place stuffing in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, and bake until top is crisp and stuffing is heated through, 50 to 55 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
• To cook sausage stuffing, follow directions for stuffing spice-rubbed roast turkey (recipe above), or preheat oven to 375, transfer stuffing to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, and bake until top is crisp and stuffing is heated through, 45 to 50 minutes. Serve warm.

STICKY RICE STUFFING WITH CHINESE SAUSAGE AND SHIITAKES

Steps:

• Rinse the rice in a colander, and then transfer to a medium bowl. Cover with 1 inch of water and let soak at room temperature overnight. Drain thoroughly.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and toast, stirring, until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside, reserving skillet.
• Return skillet to medium heat and add oil. When oil is hot, add the shallots and mushrooms and cook, stirring, until the shallots are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sausage and cook until the sausages curl slightly, 1 minute more. Add the sherry, bring to a boil, and cook until syrupy, about 1 minute. Add the soy sauce, chestnuts, rice, and toasted pine nuts and toss until the rice kernels are evenly coated. Stir in the broth or water and season with salt. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until the rice is cooked, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Garnish rice "stuffing" with sliced scallions before serving.

MUSHROOM/SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Brown sausage, add ½ butter, celery, onions, and mushrooms.
• Sauté over low - med heat.
• add remainder of butter, and ½ can of chicken broth.
• Add in a separate bowl, or pan, the breadcrumbs.
• Season with salt, pepper, and sage.
• When vegetables are tender, add to breadcrumbs, and mix well, add remaining broth as needed to sufficiently moisten stuffing.

MUSHROOM AND SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Coat a large wide pot with olive oil and toss in the celery and onions. Season with salt and cook the veggies over medium-high heat until soft and very aromatic, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into really small pieces with a metal spoon or spatula, until it's really brown and yummy, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Add the white wine and cook until it has evaporated by half. (The mix will be pretty soupy, and that's okay.)
• Combine the bread with the sausage mixture in a large bowl. Toss in the walnuts and sage and pour about half the chicken stock into the bowl. Using your hands, work to combine everything well -- really get in there and squish it up; it's fun! Add the remaining stock as needed to create a really moist mix. Taste and season with salt, if needed.
• Transfer the mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and cover with foil. Bake until the stuffing is hot all the way through, about 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake to brown the top, another 15 minutes.

SKILLET STUFFING WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Toast bread on a rimmed baking sheet until dry, about 10 minutes. Let cool. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a 12" cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, breaking into pieces with a spatula, until browned, about 7 minutes. Add onion, mushrooms, and sage and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned, 8-10 minutes. Add wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half. Let cool slightly.
• Whisk eggs, broth, cheese, mustard, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add sausage mixture, reserving skillet, and bread and toss to combine. Let sit 5 minutes, toss again, then pack back into skillet.
• Bake stuffing until lightly browned on top and cooked through, about 20 minutes.

MUSHROOM, WHITE SAUSAGE AND PROSCIUTTO STUFFING

Steps:

• Slice thin the mushrooms and chop the stems. In an eight-inch skillet over medium-low heat, melt three tablespoons of the butter, add the mushrooms and prosciutto and saute, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and browned, about 10 minutes. Add the walnuts and brown them lightly, then stir in the chopped shallots and garlic, and saute, stirring, for 30 seconds. Scrape the contents of the skillet into a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the remaining butter to the skillet and slowly brown the sausages on all sides.
• Drain, cool, cut up and put the sausages in the work bowl of a food processor and process until they are coarsely ground. In a large bowl, toss them with parsley, thyme and the mushroom and prosciutto mixture. Mix thoroughly, adding at the same time the flamed Cognac. (If making the stuffing a day early, set it aside to cool, then cover and refrigerate.)
• Just before stuffing the turkey, soak the bread cubes in milk for five minutes, then squeeze gently and toss lightly to render them fluffy. Add the bread to the stuffing and mix thoroughly, then fold in the beaten eggs. Correct the seasoning. Cool and set aside until ready to stuff the turkey.
