Joanies Sausage Bread Stuffing Recipes

Steps:

• To make things go faster, prep the breads the night before. Cut the Glutino English Muffins into one inch cubes, and put them on a flat pan in a 300 degree oven. Slowly dry and toast the bread until it is a lovely golden brown. Transfer the bread cubes to a large bowl. Do the same with the corn bread. I bake the bread cubes in separate pans because the corn bread browns faster than the English muffins.
• Chop the vegetables and apples. This can all be done the day before.
• Add 3 tablespoons olive oil to a large skillet. Break apart the Jimmy Dean's sausage with a fork, and add the seasonings and cook it about five minutes.
• Add the vegetables and apples to the sausage and continue cooking until the sausage is cooked through.
• Pour the meat mixture on top of the toasted breads in the mixing bowl.
• Mix butter into the 2 ½ cups of broth and stir to blend and pour over everything in the mixing bowl. Gently mix to combine with a spatula. It will look a little wet, that is okay. Just make sure the bread is covered.
• Pour into a 9 X 13 greased baking dish. Cover with foil and Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Remove foil to brown top, about 10 more minutes. Enjoy!
• Yummy!

Steps:

• Place sausage in a large, deep skillet; cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown, about 10 minutes. Remove sausage from the skillet and let drain on paper towels. Combine melted margarine with the sausage drippings until there is 1 cup of drippings and margarine combined.
• Cook and stir onion and celery in the margarine-dripping mixture in the same skillet over medium heat until onion is tender but not browned, about 10 minutes . Stir in about 1/3 of the bread cubes. Pour onion mixture into a large bowl and stir in remaining bread cubes, sausage, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Watch your hands, it's hot. Mix well. This stuffing is ready for baking.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Place the bread cubes in a single layer on a sheet pan and bake for 7 minutes. Raise the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Remove the bread cubes to a very large bowl.
• Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, melt the butter and add the onions, celery, apples, parsley, salt and pepper. Saute over medium heat for 10 minutes, until the vegetables are softened. Add to the bread cubes.
• In the same saute pan, cook the sausage over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until browned and cooked through, breaking up the sausage with a fork while cooking. Add to the bread cubes and vegetables.
• Add the chicken stock and cranberries to the mixture, mix well, and pour into a 9 by 12-inch baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes, until browned on top and hot in the middle. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
• Add the sausage, onion, celery, garlic, sage, thyme, celery seeds, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
• Saute, until the sausage is no longer pink and onion is soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Do not drain.
• Remove from the heat.
• In a large bowl, toss the sauteed vegetables with the bread cubes and cranberries/cherries.
• Season with pepper.
• Pour it over the stuffing, along with the broth, and toss to coat.
• The stuffing should just barely hold together when mounded on a spoon.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Stuff the bird, or, if baking some or all of the stuffing in a casserole.
• Bake it covered until heated through, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• For a crunchy top, uncover it for the last 15 minutes of baking.
• Makes 14 cups.
• Serving size= 1 cup.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet, add the olive oil, and cook the sausage, stirring and breaking it up until browned, about 8 minutes. Remove to a plate.
• Add the butter to the skillet and when it melts, add the onion and celery. Saute until the onion is translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and sage and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the wine and deglaze the pan, stirring up any browned bits with a wooden spoon.
• Add the cubed bread to the mixture and toast and turn a bit. Stir in the cooked sausage, the chicken broth, and salt to taste and cook for 1 minute. Cool the mixture. (This can be done quickly by spreading the mixture on a rimmed cookie sheet and chilling it in the refrigerator.)
• Stuff the mixture into the cavity and neck of a cooked turkey, or place it in a large buttered baking dish and bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes, or until browned on top and heated through.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F. Butter baking dish; set aside. Arrange bread and cornbread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, tossing occasionally, until completely dried out, 35-50 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet, then transfer to a very large bowl.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high. Break sausage into ½" pieces and cook, stirring and breaking up into smaller (about ¼") pieces with a wooden spoon or spatula, until browned, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to bowl with bread but do not stir.
• Heat remaining 1 stick butter in same skillet over medium-high. Cook onions and celery, stirring often and scraping browned bits off bottom of pan, until just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add to bowl with bread mixture and let cool.
• Whisk eggs, broth, parsley, sage, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Add to bread mixture and fold gently until thoroughly combined.
• Increase oven temperature to 350°F. Transfer mixture to prepared dish, cover with foil, and bake stuffing until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 160°F, 40-45 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until set and top is browned and crisped, 45-50 minutes more.
• DO AHEAD: Stuffing can be assembled, but not baked, 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. When ready to bake, bring to room temperature and bake according to recipe. Stuffing can be baked 1 day ahead. Let cool completely, then cover with foil and chill. Keep covered and bake in a 350°F oven until warmed through, 25-30 minutes. Uncover and bake until top is crisped, 7-10 minutes more.

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Add sausage to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir with a spatula, breaking apart the sausage until cooked, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Melt butter in the same skillet. Cook onion and celery, stirring constantly, until onion is soft and translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Season with sage, salt, and pepper. Stir in sausage, cornbread, bread cubes, and chicken broth.
• Transfer stuffing to a 2-quart baking dish.
• Broil in the preheated oven until the top is toasted and starts to brown, 2 to 4 minutes.
