Categories     side-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1-pound loaf sourdough bread
8 tablespoons butter
10 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced 1/2-inch thick in both directions
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 to 4 stalks celery with leaves, halved lengthwise and sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
About 10 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped from the stems
10 to 12 fresh sage leaves, chopped
3 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish and set aside.
  • Cut or tear the bread into 1-inch cubes and spread it evenly on 2 baking sheets. Toast the bread in the oven until completely dry and beginning to crisp and brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and a few pinches of salt and saute, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add celery, onion, 2 tablespoons butter, and thyme. Once the butter has melted, cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes. Add sage and remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Add chicken broth to skillet and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Transfer toasted bread cubes to a large bowl. Pour the chicken broth mixture over the bread cubes and toss to combine until the bread cubes absorb the liquid. Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish, and sprinkle with parsley. Bake in the center of the oven until heated through and the top is golden brown, about 40 minutes. Remove the stuffing from the oven and allow to cool about 15 minutes before serving.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium carrot, peeled and rough chopped
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
1/2 bunch fresh sage
1 1/2 pounds loose sweet Italian sausage
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 cups cubed sourdough bread, crusts removed
1 pound roasted chestnuts
1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and butter a 9 by 11-inch baking dish.
  • In a food processor puree the carrot, onion, celery and sage until you have a fine pulp. Set a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the sausage in a little olive oil. Once you have a nice brown color and the fat has rendered - about 5 minutes, use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the vegetable pulp to the pan and saute until most of the moisture has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper. Add to the mixing bowl with the sausage and also add the bread crumbs and chestnuts.
  • Mix together chicken stock, cream and egg. Pour this wet mixture over the dressing mix. Season and fold everything together. Pour out into the roasting dish and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown on the top (if it gets too brown before the 30 minutes is up, tent with foil).

SAUSAGE AND SOURDOUGH STUFFING



Sausage and Sourdough Stuffing image

Savory stuffing, a classic, and enough for an 8- to 12-pound turkey. Can also be doubled. Also excellent to make in advance and refrigerate until it's time to bake/roast. This recipe came about when I decided to marinate a turkey in salt brine. Most packaged stuffings are too salty to put in a brined turkey. This stuffing is outstanding. Simply scrumptious. My husband, who hates stuffing, loves it.

Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or to taste

Steps:
