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.

TARRAGON MUSHROOM AND SAUSAGE STUFFING (LOW CARB)

Steps:

• Heat electric skillet to medium-low heat.
• Saute onions in oil for 30 mins, until carmelized.
• Turn the heat up to med-high, and add mushrooms.
• Saute the mushrooms for 10-12 mins, until they are crisp on the edges.
• Season with salt and pepper, as you saute mushrooms (this tastes best with lots of salt and pepper).
• Turn the heat to high, and add cooking wine.
• Allow cooking wine to cook off a bit, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Stir in the butter 1 tbs at a time until it is well mixed.
• Remove mixture to platter.
• Squeeze sausage out of casings, and cook over med-high heat, for 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add onion and mushroom mixture back to skillet.
• Add tarragon, and heat until well mixed and heated thru.
• Serve as a side dish, or add stuffing to turkey, before baking.

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.

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!
