• Stuff turkey. You can also omit the sausage, increase the bread cubes to 9 cups, and add a teaspoon or two of salt. You can also add apples, giblets, oysters, etc. This recipe is very adaptable. When cooking extra in the oven, place the stuffing in a buttered casserole dish, and place in a pan of hot water. Cover, and baste with turkey drippings occasionally. It comes out really good.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Place the bread cubes in a single layer on a sheet pan and bake for 7 minutes. Raise the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Remove the bread cubes to a very large bowl.
• Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, melt the butter and add the onions, celery, apples, parsley, salt and pepper. Saute over medium heat for 10 minutes, until the vegetables are softened. Add to the bread cubes.
• In the same saute pan, cook the sausage over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until browned and cooked through, breaking up the sausage with a fork while cooking. Add to the bread cubes and vegetables.
• Add the chicken stock and cranberries to the mixture, mix well, and pour into a 9 by 12-inch baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes, until browned on top and hot in the middle. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Saute the onions and celery for 5 minutes. Next, add the sausage and cook until browned, about 10 more minutes, stirring frequently. Meanwhile, break up the bread slices by hand into medium-small pieces into a large bowl. Add the seasonings and mix well. Then add the cooked vegetables and sausage and mix again. Finally, add the turkey stock and mix well. There will be enough stuffing for a 10- to 15-pound bird and an 8- by 8-inch pan.

Steps:

• Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 350°F Butter a 2 1/2 to 3 quart shallow baking dish.
• Spread bread cubes in a large shallow baking pan (1 inch deep) and bake in lower third of the oven until completely dry. Cool in pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Leave oven on.
• While the bread bakes, cook the bacon until crisp, about 10 minutes, then transfer with a slotted spoon to a large bowl.
• Pour off and discard all but 2 tablespoons of bacon fat from the skillet, then saute onions in the fat over moderately high heat, stirring and scraping up any brown bits, until the onions are softened, about 10 minutes. Add celery and saute, stirring, 3 minutes. Transfer onion and celery to the bowl with the bacon.
• Cook sausage in skillet, stirring and breaking up sausage, until meat is no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes, then transfer sausage with a slotted spoon to the onion mixture.
• Pour off any remaining fat from skillet. Add Cognac (off heat), then deglaze skillet by simmering over moderate heat, stirring and scraping up any brown bits, 1 minute, and add to the onion sausage mixture.
• Increase oven temperature to 375°F.
• Soak bread cubes in half and half in a bowl, tossing frequently, until liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Gently squeeze excess liquid from bread, then stir bread into sausage mixture, discarding the excess half and half. Stir together stock and eggs and add to stuffing, then stir in chestnuts, herbs, salt and pepper until well combined.
• Transfer stuffing to baking dish and cover with foil, then bake in upper third of oven 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake until top is crisp, about 20 minutes more.

Steps:

• Butter a 13 x 9-inch casserole dish.
• For the stuffing; melt butter in a large skillet, add in onions, garlic, celery, green bell pepper and jalapeno peppers, saute, stirring with a wooden spoon for about 6-7 minutes or until well softened.
• Season with black pepper and cayenne (if using, do not add in any salt to the mixture the stuffing mixture already has added salt in it).
• Add in the mushrooms, then the 2 cups chicken broth and 1 cup water (or use 3 cups water) bring to a boil; remove from heat.
• Add in the 3 packages stuffing mix; toss with a fork to blend, cover and let sit for 10 minutes.
• After 10 minutes toss again with a fork.
• Layer half of the stuffing mix into the bottom of the buttered baking dish.
• Then top/sprinkle with the cooked sausage; push the mixture down with a back of the spoon to pack evenly.
• In a bowl whisk together eggs with milk and one can undiluted mushroom soup; drizzle over the sausage in the dish.
• Sprinkle/top with remaining half of the stuffing mixture.
• Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, then spoon and spread the remaining undulted mushroom soup on top (the soup does not have to cover the top completely, just use a spoon to spread out as best you can).
• Bake uncovered for about 1 hour or until the middle is set.

Steps:

• Chop onion and celery into a medium dice.
• In large frying pan, melt one stick of butter and saute vegetables. Season generously with Garlic Salt, Salt, Pepper, and Italian Seasoning. (It WILL be salty, but remember -- this mixture will flavor the dry bread cubes later). When done, empty into large mixing bowl.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Using the same pan, brown pork sausage. Be sure to break into chunks as it's cooking. Drain off grease, and empty into large mixing bowl.
• Add 2-3 bread cubes into the mixing bowl and stir. Set aside for now to allow the cubes to absorb the juice and flavor of the vegetables and sausage.
• Use the same pan again, melt the other stick of butter and heat through with two boxes of chicken broth (you may not need the 3rd).
• Pour amounts of the heated butter/chicken broth mixture over the cubes, et al in the mixing bowl. Stir to mix. DON'T pour it all at once! It's not an exact science, and you'll want it moist enough that it WILL NOT hold a firm form of a meatball. It may appear TOO juicy, but it will cook out when baking. Be generous, or it will be too dry. We like it to come out crunchy on top, but moist below.
• Taste to make sure it's flavorful. Adjust seasoning, if needed.
• REMEMBER to butter or PAM spray the foil pan.
• Load the stuffing mixture, and smooth on top.
• Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or so. Remove foil and bake for additional 15-20 minutes, or until crispy and golden on top. Let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
