Ingredients

  • 2 loaves oven-dried white bread (recommended: Pepperidge Farm)
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 sleeve crushed saltines
  • 1 pound bulk breakfast sausage
  • 2 cups chopped celery
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 7 cups chicken stock
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage leaves
  • 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 stick butter, melted
  • Mushroom Giblet Gravy, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Crumble oven-dried bread into a large bowl. Add rice and saltines.

Cook sausage in a large skillet until it starts to brown. Add celery and onion and saute until transparent, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour over bread and rice mixture. Add stock and mix well. Add salt, pepper, sage, and poultry seasoning. Mix well. Add the beaten eggs and melted butter. Mix well. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the stuffing mixture for the Mushroom Giblet Gravy.

Pour stuffing into a greased pan and bake until cooked through and golden brown, about 45 minutes.

Mushroom Giblet Gravy:

  • 4 cups turkey or chicken stock

Giblets from 1 turkey

2 chicken bouillon cubes

2 tablespoons reserved stuffing mixture

3 tablespoons cornstarch

1/3 cup cold water

2 pints button mushrooms, sliced

3 tablespoons butter

1 hard boiled egg, sliced

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Bring stock and giblets to a boil. Add bouillon and reserved stuffing mixture. Make a slurry by whisking together the cornstarch and water and add to the boiling stock; cook 2 to 3 minutes. Meanwhile, saute mushrooms until browned in butter. Add mushrooms to gravy with egg and salt and pepper, to taste.

    I have made this stuffing recipe for the last two years. It is becoming a tradition that my family enjoys. The hearty texture, seasonings and ingredients brings everyone in the kitchen to check what is in the oven cooking. We really enjoy having the rice in the stuffing. It is almost a meal in itself. I'm sure it is one your family will enjoy too. Another perfected recipe by Paula!

    First off let me just say that I have never made stuffing before, EVER! This was pretty yummy and tasty.
    I did tweek it to my preference though. I did not put sausage and used swanson chicken flavoring instead of poultry seasoning. Very easy to make.
