Thanksgiving Stuffing Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

When butter melts, add bay leaf and add the vegetables as you chop them, celery, onions then apples. Sprinkle the vegetables and apples with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Cook 5 to 6 minutes to begin to soften vegetables and apples then add parsley and stuffing cubes to the pan and combine. Moisten the stuffing with chicken broth until all of the bread is soft but not wet.
• Butter 12 muffin cups, 2 tins, liberally with remaining butter. Use an ice cream scoop to fill and mound up the stuffing in muffin tins. Remove the bay leaf as you scoop the stuffing when you come upon it. Bake until set and crisp on top, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove stuffin' muffins to a platter and serve hot or room temperature.

• Bake about 20 minutes or until stuffing is firm and tops are golden brown.

Steps:

• Melt butter for country gravy in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook and crumble into very small pieces until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add flour and whisk until it combines with butter and sausage fat to create a roux. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add green onions. Cook and stir for 1 minute; don't overcook.
• Pour in milk and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Continue to cook and stir until nice and thick. Stir in salt, cayenne, and black pepper. Cook for 1 more minute, then remove from the heat.

• Wet your finger and make a big hole in the center of each muffin, poking down pretty far but stopping about 1 inch from the bottom of the pan. Place about 2 tablespoons chilled gravy into each hole, centering it in the hole the best you can. Reserve remaining gravy for another use.
• Dampen your hands and mold the stuffing for each muffin over the top to cover the gravy center. Generously brush the tops with melted butter.
