Black Olive Mushroom And Sausage Stuffing Recipes

MUSHROOM AND SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Coat a large wide pot with olive oil and toss in the celery and onions. Season with salt and cook the veggies over medium-high heat until soft and very aromatic, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into really small pieces with a metal spoon or spatula, until it's really brown and yummy, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Add the white wine and cook until it has evaporated by half. (The mix will be pretty soupy, and that's okay.)
• Combine the bread with the sausage mixture in a large bowl. Toss in the walnuts and sage and pour about half the chicken stock into the bowl. Using your hands, work to combine everything well -- really get in there and squish it up; it's fun! Add the remaining stock as needed to create a really moist mix. Taste and season with salt, if needed.
• Transfer the mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and cover with foil. Bake until the stuffing is hot all the way through, about 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake to brown the top, another 15 minutes.

KAREN'S SAUSAGE, BLACK OLIVE AND WALNUT STUFFING

Steps:

• Cook the sausage and the minced turkey liver in a large heavy pan over medium heat, stirring until cooked and making sure the sausage meat is well broken up, about 12 minutes.
• Add the onions, celery and thyme and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are tender and pale yellow, about 10 minutes.
• Toast the bread slices and dice; you should have about 3 cups. Place the sausage mixture in a bowl and add the bread.
• Add the olives, walnut pieces, Italian parsley, Cognac, salt and pepper.
• Add enough stock so the stuffing will hold together in the bird.

MUSHROOM/SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Brown sausage, add ½ butter, celery, onions, and mushrooms.
• Sauté over low - med heat.
• add remainder of butter, and ½ can of chicken broth.
• Add in a separate bowl, or pan, the breadcrumbs.
• Season with salt, pepper, and sage.
• When vegetables are tender, add to breadcrumbs, and mix well, add remaining broth as needed to sufficiently moisten stuffing.

TRADITIONAL SAUSAGE-MUSHROOM TURKEY STUFFING

Steps:

• Pan fry sausage over medium-high heat until crumbled and cooked well. Set aside.
• In large fry pan, melt butter. Add celery, onion, and mushrooms. Saute until soft. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cook down until about 1/3 of the liquid remains.
• In large bowl, toss bread cubes with poultry seasoning, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add sausage and drippings to bowl and stir. Add vegetables and broth mixture to bowl and stir. Add egg and mix until fully combined. Mixture should be moist and bind together easily. (If not, add more chicken broth.).
• Stuff neck and body cavities of turkey, or spoon into a greased 2-quart casserole and cover with foil. Truss turkey and roast as usual or, if baking, add casserole to oven about 30 minutes end of turkey roasting time and let bake for 45 minutes. I have also successfully made stuffing balls with this recipe, rolling the stuffing mixture into balls (I got about 15 of them), placing them on a greased, foil-lined baking sheet and baking in a 350-degree oven for about 25 minutes. They were moist and delicious!

BLACK OLIVE, MUSHROOM, AND SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Place the bread slices onto baking sheets in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, then turn the bread over, and continue baking until golden brown on the other side as well, about 15 minutes. Remove, and allow the bread to cool. Once cool, cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the sausage. Cook and stir until the sausage is crumbly no longer pink. Stir in the butter, onion, and celery; continue cooking until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a large mixing bowl, and stir in the mushrooms, olives, garlic, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir in half of the bread cubes until evenly blended, then stir in the beaten egg with the remaining bread cubes. Pack into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crispy and golden brown on top, about 30 minutes.

SAUSAGES WITH OREGANO, MUSHROOMS & OLIVES

Steps:

• Using kitchen scissors, snip the sausages into meatball-size pieces. Heat a large pan and fry the pieces in the oil for about 5 mins until golden all over.
• Add the oregano and garlic, fry for 1 min more, then tip in the tomatoes, stock, olives and mushrooms.
• Simmer for 15 mins until the sausages are cooked through and the sauce has reduced a little. Serve with mashed potato or pasta.
