Ingredients

1 stick unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish

1 pound sage sausage, casings removed, meat crumbled

1 large onion, diced

3 stalks celery, diced

1 tablespoon minced fresh sage

1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

3 cups low-sodium chicken broth

2 large eggs

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

16 cups cubed stale white bread

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and butter a 3-quart baking dish. Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat, until browned, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the onion, celery, sage and thyme to the skillet, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  3. Whisk together the eggs and parsley in a large bowl. Add the bread cubes and toss, then pour in the vegetable-broth mixture and stir to combine.
  4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes, then uncover and bake until golden, about 30 more minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Was looking for a new stuffing recipe to replace my old cornbread one my family never seemed to love. This one seemed simple enough so I tried and it to rave reviews. My family, who are never huge stuffing fans kept raving how amazing it was. I bought a white baguette as a more substainal country bread was sold out and in a pinch had to add some Pepperidge Farm White Sandwhich Bread to have enough and I have to say the stuffing was so tasty! I also added some chopped dried apricots for sweetness and sprinkles some leftover fried onions on top. Next time I might also add a few chopped walnuts for extra crunch. Definitely going to become a new go-to for Thanksgiving Recipes!
