Ingredients

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

Directions

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).

Best Dressing EVER!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I needed a bit more bread than 5 cups, finely diced the veggies instead of pureeing them, and would use just about 1 lb of... sausage next time. My family is still talking about this! Read more

Amazing!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great recipe! I used chorizo instead of Italian sausage and omitted the chestnuts, but the outcome was nothing short of... amazing. Served it with roasted duck. This dressing was a huge hit!Read more

The chestnuts help make this recipe so good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I cut the recipe in half because it does make a lot. I stirred the stuffing twice during the 30 minute cooking and made sure... I greased the small roating pan with butter. Whatever -- I will make this again. Love it. Love the chestnuts. Marilyn from PittsburghRead more

Family tradition starting now!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

For those of you having troubles with the chestnuts. Make sure to cut an X over one end of the nut and make it large. I use... an exact-o knife. Then after they are roasted put them all in a towel and squeeze. It frees the shells up a little bit. It took me three tries over the last year to land on this as the quickest and easiest way I've tried to shuck chestnuts, By far! I made this stuffing after Tyler's holiday cooking special last year and it was immediately named a new family tradition by all. So we've had 2 Thanksgivings and a Christmas with it thus far! LOVE IT!Read more

Yum dressing!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The dressing was liked by all. However, it is difficult to peel the roasted chestnuts. If I would make the dish again I would... not go through the process of peeling the chestnuts. I would either buy the peeled ones or substitute it with walnuts. Read more
