Kates Easy Sausage Parmesan Stuffingdressing 8 Ingredients Recipes

SAUSAGE AND KALE THANKSGIVING DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 3-quart casserole dish.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add the leeks and squash and season with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper; cook until the leeks are soft, about 3 minutes. Add the kale, toss and cover until the kale wilts, about 4 minutes. Add the focaccia cubes and the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and toss until the butter melts.
• Whisk the egg and chicken broth in a bowl until smooth; stir in the diced parmesan and 1 teaspoon salt. Pour the broth mixture over the bread mixture; cook until the liquid is absorbed by the bread, about 1 minute.
• Transfer the bread mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Scatter the shredded cheese evenly on top and bake until golden and cooked through, about 40 minutes. Set aside for 5 minutes before serving.

ONE-SKILLET SAUSAGE AND POLENTA PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the polenta and fry until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the sausage to the skillet and cook, stirring and breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until just browned, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley.
• Arrange the polenta rounds in the skillet on top of the sauce. Place the mozzarella slices over the polenta and sprinkle with the parmesan. Broil until the cheese is browned and bubbling, about 3 minutes. Top with more parsley and pepper to taste.

EASIEST SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Combine sausage, celery, and onion in a skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until sausage is browned and crumbled, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer cooked mixture to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up excess oil.
• Pour water into a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in butter until melted. Add stuffing mix, cover, and remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes. Add cooked sausage mixture and stir to combine.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND BREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Generously butter baking dish.
• Put bread in 2 shallow baking pans and bake, switching position of pans halfway through baking, until just dried out, about 10 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then cook half of sausage, stirring and breaking it into small pieces, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a large bowl. Brown remaining sausage in remaining tablespoon oil, transferring to bowl.
• Pour off fat from skillet and wipe clean. Heat butter over medium heat until foam subsides, then cook onions, celery, garlic, and ½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Add vegetables and bread to sausage.
• Whisk together eggs, ½ cup cream, turkey stock, cheese, and parsley, then stir into stuffing and cool completely, about 30 minutes. Reserve 5 cups stuffing to stuff turkey and spoon remainder into baking dish, then drizzle with remaining ¼ cup cream. Cover stuffing and chill.
• About 1 hour before stuffed turkey is finished roasting, bring dish of stuffing to room temperature. When turkey is done, increase oven temperature to 425°F and bake stuffing, covered tightly with foil, until hot throughout, about 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake until top is golden and crisp, about 15 minutes more.
• Cooks' Note: Bread can be toasted 3 days ahead and kept (once cool) in a sealed bag at room temperature. Stuffing can be prepared (but not baked) 4 hours before roasting turkey. If baking stuffing at the same time as potatoes, put stuffing in upper third of oven and potatoes in bottom third (allow extra time).

ARTICHOKE, SAUSAGE, AND PARMESAN CHEESE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Divide bread between 2 baking sheets. Bake until cubes are dry but not hard, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and sauté until cooked through, breaking up with back of fork, about 5 minutes. Add onions, celery, and garlic. Sauté until celery is soft, about 10 minutes. Mix in artichokes, thyme, and mint; sauté 2 minutes longer. Transfer sausage mixture to large bowl. (Bread and sausage mixture can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately. Store bread at room temperature. Refrigerate sausage mixture and reheat to lukewarm before continuing.)
• Add bread to sausage mixture; toss to blend well. Mix in cheese, then 1 cup broth. Season with salt and pepper.
• To bake stuffing in turkey:
• Loosely fill main cavity and neck cavity of turkey with stuffing. Add enough broth to remaining stuffing to moisten slightly (1/4 cup to 3/4 cup, depending on amount of remaining stuffing). Generously butter baking dish. Spoon remaining stuffing into prepared dish. Cover dish with buttered foil, buttered side down. Bake stuffing in dish - alongside turkey or while turkey is resting - until heated through, about 25 minutes. Uncover stuffing in dish. Bake until top of stuffing is slightly crisp and golden, about 15 minutes longer.
• To bake stuffing in dish:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Add enough extra broth to stuffing to moisten (3/4 cup to 1 1/4 cups). Transfer stuffing to prepared dish. Cover with buttered foil, buttered side down. Bake until heated through, about 40 minutes. Uncover and bake until top is slightly crisp and golden, about 20 minutes longer.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PARMESAN CHEESE STUFFING

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread bread cubes on large rimmed baking sheet. Bake until bread is dry, about 15 minutes. Transfer to large bowl and cool. Maintain oven temperature.
• Generously butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add sausages and sauté 5 minutes, breaking up with back of fork. Add chicken livers; sauté just until sausages and livers are cooked through, about 7 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage mixture to bowl with bread cubes. Add 1 tablespoon oil to same skillet. Add onions and next 4 ingredients; sauté until onions and celery are tender but not brown, about 10 minutes. Add onion mixture to bread cubes. Stir in 3/4 cup Parmesan, currants, parsley, salt, and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Mix eggs and broth into stuffing; transfer to baking dish. Cover dish with foil. Bake 40 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan and bake until top begins to brown, about 20 minutes.

"SIMPLE IS BEST" DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F. Butter a 13x9x2" baking dish and set aside. Scatter bread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until dried out, about 1 hour. Let cool; transfer to a very large bowl.
• Meanwhile, melt 3/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add onions and celery. Stir often until just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add to bowl with bread; stir in herbs, salt, and pepper. Drizzle in 1 1/4 cups broth and toss gently. Let cool.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk 1 1/4 cups broth and eggs in a small bowl. Add to bread mixture; fold gently until thoroughly combined. Transfer to prepared dish, cover with foil, and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of dressing registers 160°F, about 40 minutes. (Note: Dressing can be made one day ahead up to this point. Uncover the dressing, let cool, then cover again and chill. The next day, proceed with the final bake as described below.)
• Bake dressing, uncovered, until set and top is browned and crisp, 40-45 minutes longer (if chilled, add 10-15 minutes).

BREAD AND BUTTER STUFFING / DRESSING

Steps:

• Slice the bread and let it dry out overnight. (I use cookie racks). When dry, tear it into coarse pieces and place in a large bowl.
• Melt butter in a sauce pan. Add celery, onions, and apple. Sautee briefly.
• Add chicken stock and bring to boil. Remove from heat and pour over bread.
• Stir in sage, thyme (removed from stems) and raisins.
• Roast in bird, or in a foil-covered roasting pan in the oven alongside your bird. If cooking in a pan, remove the foil during the last 10 minutes (more or less, depending on the temp at which your bird is roasting) of cooking to crisp up.
• As a guideline, at 375F, your stuffing in a pan should cook 15 minutes covered and 15 minutes uncovered.

ARTICHOKE-SAUSAGE STUFFING / DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F (or if cooking inside turkey, preheat to 450°F).
• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• When pan is hot, add sausage and cook 3 to 5 minutes, until browned and cooked through, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
• Add mushrooms, onion, garlic, and poultry seasoning and cook 3 minutes, until mushrooms soften.
• Transfer mixture to a large bowl and add bread cubes, artichoke hearts, cheese, parsley, and 1 1/2 cups broth.
• Toss to combine, allowing liquid to soften bread cubes. If stuffing seems dry, add more broth to soak cubes.
• Bake stuffing at 325°F for 30 minutes in shallow baking dish.
• ** If cooking in turkey: Loosely stuff bread mixture into turkey (extra stuffing can be baked in shallow dish next to the turkey). Place turkey in preheated oven and immediately reduce oven temperature to 325°F Roast turkey 20 minutes per pound, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 180-185°F.

ITALIAN STUFFING WITH SAUSAGE AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add onion, celery, bell peppers and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add sausage and cook, breaking up meat with a spoon, until it loses its pink color, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the basil, oregano, salt and crushed red pepper. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Stir in bread cubes and Parmesan. Stir in butter, wine and enough of the stock to moisten the stuffing, about 1 cup. If not being used to stuff the turkey, place in a buttered baking dish, cover and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove cover and bake an additional 10 minutes to form a crust.
• Note: If bread is very fresh, cut it into cubes, spread out on a baking sheet and let stand for several hours to air-dry.

KATE'S EASY SAUSAGE PARMESAN STUFFING/DRESSING (8 INGREDIENTS!)

Steps:

• Chop artichokes into bite-size pieces. Discard any sharp ends and tough dried out leaves. To save time, artichoke hearts, onion, green bell pepper, and leafy celery hearts can be chopped individually in a food processor. Note: the amount of chicken broth to be added is not an exact measurement because some packaged herb stuffing or croutons absorb more moisture than others.
• OVEN: Preheat oven to 425F degrees. Crumble sausage evenly over bottom of 13 by 9 inch baking pan. Bake, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Remove sausage from oven and crumble into fine pieces. Stir in onion, green bell pepper, leafy celery hearts, artichoke hearts, herb stuffing or croutons, 3 cups chicken broth, and cheese. Cover with foil and bake at 350F degrees for 30 minutes. Remove foil; bake for 10 more minutes or until browned. Serve.
• ON TOP OF STOVE (this is the way I make it): In a large pan, brown sausage, onion, green bell pepper, and leafy celery hearts in olive oil. Add artichoke hearts, herb stuffing or croutons, 3 cups chicken broth, and cheese. Simmer 30 minutes with lid ajar, stirring often to prevent sticking adding additional chicken broth as needed while simmering. Dressing should be moist. Serve.
