Sourdough Stuffing With Kale Dates And Turkey Sausage Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the bread on a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake, tossing halfway through, until crisp, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned in spots and no longer pink, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the onion, carrots, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; cook until almost tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Add the kale and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, chickpeas, pasta, broth and 4 cups water. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the kale is tender and the pasta is al dente, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with the croutons and season with pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a baking dish.
• Heat 1/2 cup water in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up into 1-inch pieces until no longer pink and most of the water has evaporated. Drain and discard any grease.
• Add butter and increase heat. As sausage starts to sizzle, add onion, celery, and garlic. Cook to a light to medium brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add parsley, sage, and rosemary; cook for 2 to 4 minutes.
• Add bread cubes and turn gently to moisten, being careful not to break them. Add more chicken broth in 1/4-cup increments, if needed. Taste and season with salt and pepper, being careful not to burn yourself. Transfer stuffing to the prepared baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until golden brown, another 30 minutes.
