Sausage And Sage Un Stuffing Recipes

Steps:

• Place prunes in a small bowl; add brandy and set aside.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat until foamy. Add turkey giblets and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring, for 10 seconds; season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and add garlic, onion, and celery; cook, stirring, until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Drain prunes, reserving brandy, and add to skillet along with chestnuts and sausage; cook, stirring, until sausage is cooked through and well combined. Add reserved brandy to skillet and cook, stirring and scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon; let cook until liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly; season sausage mixture with salt.
• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and cream until well combined. Add bread and sage; toss to coat. Add sausage mixture and stir to combine.
• Prepare a large ice-water bath and set aside. Lightly sprinkle work surface with water; top with two 2 1/2-feet-long pieces of plastic wrap, slightly overlapping one another. Spoon half of the bread mixture onto plastic wrap near one long side. Using clean hands, form bread mixture into a 3-inch-thick log. Fold plastic wrap over the top of the log and roll up in plastic to enclose. Twist ends tightly to enclose, then tie together to create a secure cylinder. Transfer to ice-water bath. Repeat process with a second 2-foot-long piece of plastic wrap and remaining bread mixture. Bread cylinders should be kept in ice-water bath, refrigerated, for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Fill a large Dutch oven with very hot water. Transfer Dutch oven to oven until water reaches 150 degrees. Place bread cylinders in Dutch oven and cover. Cook until internal temperature of stuffing reaches 140 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, prepare a large ice-water bath.
• Remove bread cylinders from Dutch oven and transfer to ice-water bath; let cool 1 hour. Use immediately or transfer to refrigerator until ready to serve, up to overnight.
• To serve, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slice each bread cylinder into 1 1/2-inch-thick rounds, unwrapping cylinder as you slice.
• Working in batches, heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, ovenproof skillet. Dredge each bread round with flour, shaking off excess, and place in skillet; cook until browned on bottom. Turn, and transfer to oven; continue cooking until opposite side is browned, about 5 minutes more. Transfer stuffing rounds to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Put the stuffing cubes in a large bowl and set aside. Butter a 3-quart casserole dish.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until it loses most of its pink color, but not so much that it's dry, about 5 minutes. Add the sausage and pan drippings to the stuffing cubes. Melt the remaining butter in the pan. Add the onion, apple, celery, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until the vegetables get soft, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and parsley and bring to a boil.
• Pour the vegetable mixture over the stuffing cubes and toss until evenly moistened. Mix in the walnuts and eggs. Loosely pack the dressing in the prepared pan and cook uncovered until the top forms a crust, about 40 minutes. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of turkey pan drippings or melted butter over the top. Cook until the top is crisp and golden, about 20 minutes more.

Steps:

• Saute meats in large frying pan. While that is cooking, cube the bread (leave the crusts on).
• Dump bread cubes into a large bowl. When meat is cooked through, dump into a colander to rinse and drain; then add to the bread cubes, toss lightly.
• In same frying pan, add a dab of butter and saute the mushrooms. When they begin to get limp and juicy, dump into bowl with meat-bread mixture. Toss lightly.
• In frying pan, with another dab of butter, saute onion and celery. When onion is transparent either dump into bowl and toss OR dump into blender jar along with 1/4-1/2 cup melted butter and swirl into fine-ness. (This is for the kids who don't like to see chunks of "yukkies" as my son complains!), THEN pour over bread cube mixture and mix inches.
• Sprinkle herbs over the top, and toss again.
• Depending on how "juicy" you like your stuffing/dressing, melt another 1/2 cup of butter and drizzle over and stir.
• This is used for stuffing turkey, goose or chicken.
• Dressing can be baked in a greased, covered casserole dish at 325-350°F for 30-40 minutes.
• OPTIONAL ADD-INs: Try one or two of the following suggestions: 1-2 small cans sliced (minced) water chestnuts, 1/2 - 1 cup green olives, 1 cup chopped toasted nuts (walnuts are great!). Try a 1/4-1/2 cup cornmeal for an entirely different flavor.
• SUBSTITUTE: 1-2 small cans of drained mushroom stems and pieces instead of the fresh ones. Other herbs and LOTS of pepper are great too. Try a combination of wholewheat and white bread.
• LEFTOVERS: Reheat in the oven or microwave; keep pan covered unless you like it a bit drier. Use as a bread-like crust for Turkey Divan (with broccoli spears, turkey pieces, grated cheese and cream-of-mushroom soup over the top--baked).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚. Butter a 3-quart baking dish. Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up the meat, until no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onions, celery, sage and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
• Whisk the eggs and parsley in a large bowl. Add the bread cubes and sausage-broth mixture and toss until evenly combined. Transfer to the prepared baking dish, dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cover with foil.
• Bake the stuffing until hot, about 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and onion. Cook until sausage is cooked through, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in remaining ingredients. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Fry 2 sliced onions in 25g butter for 5 mins, then add 1 small diced Bramley apple and cook briefly.
• Cool, then mix with 800g Cumberland sausages, skins removed, the chopped handful of sage, 140g granary breadcrumbs and seasoning.
• Use to stuff the neck end of the bird, then roll any leftovers into balls. Or, pack the whole mixture into a 1kg loaf tin and top with extra sage leaves.
• Bake with turkey for 30-40 mins. Drain off any fat and serve sliced.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F. Butter a shallow 13x9" baking dish and a large piece of foil. Place 9 cups bread in a large bowl.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook sausage, stirring occasionally and breaking into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 7-10 minutes. Transfer to bowl with bread.
• Place onions, celery, sage, and 2 Tbsp. butter in same skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until onions are golden brown and soft, 10-12 minutes. Add wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost completely evaporated, about 5 minutes; scrape into bowl with bread and sausage.
• Whisk eggs and broth in a medium bowl until smooth, then pour over bread mixture. Pour in half-and-half and add 3 cups cheese; toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to prepared baking dish and cover with foil, buttered side down. Bake until a paring knife inserted into the center comes out hot, 40-50 minutes .
• Heat broiler. Uncover stuffing and top with remaining cheese. Broil until top is golden and bubbling, about 4 minutes. Let sit at least 10 minutes and up to 30 before serving.
• Do Ahead
• Stuffing can be assembled 1 day ahead; cover with foil and chill. Stuffing can be baked (but not broiled) 3 hours ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature until ready to broil.

Steps:

• Add onions, celery, mushrooms, sage, poultry seasoning, 1 stick of butter and chicken stock to a pot. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender. Allow to cool.
• In a large bowl combine stuffing mix, browned sausage, and all of the vegetables but not all of the stock. Mix lightly. Add the eggs and continue to add the stock until the stuffing comes together.
• Lightly spray a large oven proof bowl with cooking spray. Loosely spoon the stuffing into the bowl, do not pack in tightly. Dot the top with the remaining 2 tbs of butter.
• Bake at 350 (or whatever temp your other items need to cook at) for 1 hour or until the stuffing reaches an internal temperature of 180 and the top is lightly browned and slightly crisp. If you prefer a moister stuffing then cover with foil for the majority of the cooking and leave uncovered for the last 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Transfer to a large bowl. In the same skillet, saute onions and celery in butter until tender. Add garlic and cook 1 minute longer., Add the bread cubes, apples, pecans, sage, thyme, salt, pepper and onion mixture to the sausage. Stir in enough broth to reach desired moistness. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish (dish will be full). Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned.
