Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Sausage Stuffing.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients in one place for a smooth cooking experience.
Step 2
In a large skillet, warm it up over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once hot, add the breakfast sausage and cook it, stirring often, until it’s beautifully browned and crumbly—this should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 4
When it’s ready, use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage into a large mixing bowl, leaving the flavorful drippings behind.
Step 5
Next, pour those drippings into a measuring cup and add enough melted butter to reach a total of 1 cup.
Step 6
Return this delicious mixture to the skillet and heat it over medium heat.
Step 7
Now, toss in the finely diced celery and chopped onion, sautéing them until the onion becomes tender and fragrant, but be careful not to let it brown.
Step 8
Once the veggies are ready, stir in one-third of the bread cubes, allowing them to soak up all those wonderful flavors.
Step 9
Then, transfer this mixture into the bowl with the cooked sausage.
Step 10
Add the remaining bread cubes, a sprinkle of poultry seasoning, and a dash of ground black pepper.
Step 11
Mix everything together until it’s well combined and bursting with flavor.
Step 12
Now comes the fun part: gently stuff the sausage and bread mixture into the body and neck cavities of your turkey, making sure it’s packed in nicely.
Step 13
Finally, roast your turkey using your favorite method, and get ready for a delicious feast that will have everyone coming back for seconds!.
