Sourdough Stuffing Wkale Dates And Turkey Sausage Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut the crust off the bread and tear remaining loaf into 1-inch croutons. Place torn bread on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 4 tablespoons olive oil, squeezing and tossing bread with your hands to help it absorb the oil. Transfer to oven and toast, tossing once or twice, until croutons are golden brown and crispy on the outside but still a little soft and tender inside, 12 to 15 minutes. When croutons have cooled, place them in a large bowl.
• Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and crumble sausage into pan. Sauté, breaking up sausage with a wooden spoon, until browned and just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer sausage to the bowl with the croutons using a slotted spoon.
• Return the pot to medium heat and add 2 more tablespoons olive oil, the onions, the rosemary sprig, the thyme and the chile. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Continue cooking another 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until onion is soft and starting to color slightly.
• Add half the kale and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pan. Use tongs to turn the greens to coat them in oil and help them wilt and cook down. When there is room in the pan (from the greens wilting), add the rest of the kale and season with another 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. As soon as all the kale has wilted, transfer mixture to the bowl with the croutons and sausage. Remove rosemary. Add dates and stir well to combine.
• Return pot to stove over high heat and carefully pour in sherry. Boil until sherry is reduced by three-quarters, then add stock. Boil until mixture is reduced by half, then swirl in butter until melted.
• Pour hot liquid over crouton-kale mixture. Add almonds and toss well to combine; using tongs or your hands, squeeze and massage the stuffing to integrate the flavors and make sure bread has really soaked in all the liquid.
• Transfer stuffing to a ceramic baking dish or casserole. Cover and bake 15 minutes in the 400-degree oven. Uncover and bake 10 to 15 more minutes, or until top is golden and crisp.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large saute pan or dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Brown the sausage until cooked through and reserve on the side.
• Add the butter, apples, celery and onions and saute until tender, add the thyme leaves and return the sausage to the pan and stir thoroughly.
• Transfer the mixture to a large bowl if there's not enough room in your pan to mix in the bread and the broth.
• Thoroughly whisk the egg into the broth and combine the bread, broth mixture and sausage/vegetable mixture, season with salt and pepper. Put into a 9 x 13 baking pan. Cover with foil and bake about an hour, removing foil the last 10 minutes to ensure a brown and crunchy top.

Steps:

• Cut the loaf of sliced sour dough bread into 2 inch cubes and dry in 250 degree oven until stale (Crusts maybe removed but not essential).
• Heat a small skillet, add the butter, margarine, or olive oil and sauté the diced onion and celery until soft.
• Stir in 4 teaspoons Fuller's Sage Blend, ¼ cup chopped parsley, and the fresh sage leaves. Put dried bread into a large bowl. Add onion mixture and stir. Add the salt and pepper.
• Lightly beat the eggs and pour over bread.
• Add heated turkey or chicken broth and mix to thoroughly combine. More liquid may be added if the bread cubes appear to be dry inside. Add just enough to make the mixture moist but not soggy!
• Stuff the cavity of the turkey loosely just before roasting or butter a large casserole pan and bake the stuffing for about 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Roast the stuffed turkey according to roasting directions for a stuffed turkey.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a baking dish.
• Heat 1/2 cup water in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up into 1-inch pieces until no longer pink and most of the water has evaporated. Drain and discard any grease.
• Add butter and increase heat. As sausage starts to sizzle, add onion, celery, and garlic. Cook to a light to medium brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add parsley, sage, and rosemary; cook for 2 to 4 minutes.
• Add bread cubes and turn gently to moisten, being careful not to break them. Add more chicken broth in 1/4-cup increments, if needed. Taste and season with salt and pepper, being careful not to burn yourself. Transfer stuffing to the prepared baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until golden brown, another 30 minutes.
