It’s almost Thanksgiving…can you smell the Turkey?

Our traditional Stuffing Recipe which can be adapted 3 ways to satisfy everyone at your Thanksgiving Table.

 

I remember Thanksgiving being more about the stuffing than about the turkey!  This is our traditional family favorite ~ I hope you enjoy it.

 

Sausage Stuffing for Turkey

Ripieno di Salsiccia per Tacchino 

1 pound of sweet sausage (without skin)

1 stick of butter

1 large onion, peeled and chopped

2 cups chopped celery

1 cup sliced mushrooms

1 small carrot, diced

1 tablespoon dried thyme, or 2 tablespoons fresh thyme

1 teaspoon dried sage, or 2 teaspoons fresh sage

1 tablespoon dried parsley, or 2 tablespoons of fresh-chopped parsley

1 teaspoon garlic salt

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

15 oz. bag of unseasoned bread cubes

1-1/2 cups homemade or canned chicken stock

In a skillet, crumble sausage and cook well.  Drain fat and set aside.  In a skillet, sauté́́e butter, onion, celery, mushrooms, and carrots until tender.  In a large bowl, add vegetables, seasonings and cooked sausage, bread cubes and chicken broth.  Combine well.  Reserve 4 cups to stuff a 14-18 pound turkey.  Place remaining stuffing in a buttered casserole pan.  Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

NOTES: 

Vegetarian Options:  Omit the sausage and substitute a vegetable broth.  Great vegetarian options would be to stuff portabella mushrooms or a squash of your choice.  Bake.

Gluten-free Options: Substitute gluten-free bread for traditional.  Also, if you purchase chicken stock, read the labels to ensure the ingredients are gluten-free.

Thanksgiving is a time for ‘gathering’ –  both our bounty and our loved ones.  Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks and for gratitude.  Thanksgiving is a time to be grateful for not only what is on the table but for who is at the table.

Thanksgiving Blessings to All,

Cynthia

About Cynthia Ferich

After writing and self-publishing “MaMa Mia Cucina” in 2007, Cynthia's writing, cooking and culinary teachings evolved into being as an entity surrounding food, fun, family and friends.

In an effort to capture her family’s ‘old world’ Italian recipes for future generations to enjoy, her grandmother, ‘Noni’, and Cynthia joined forces. "She measured, I wrote, and we cooked."

During her grandmother's latter 80 years, she traveled in memory through her life, as they shared in stories of a lifetime and long ago. As they shared this final chapter in her life, what Cynthia soon discovered through all of the measuring, cooking, sharing in the love of a family, and in the love of a friendship, was the passion for cooking, and a love that nourishes us all… It’s all about the FOOD!
