Sausage Stuffing

Dish Description
This stuffing has lots of flavor and is nice and moist. You can also change the ingredients to your liking. I quadruple this recipe and make the extra in my electric roaster, that’s how much everyone loves it. Originally submitted to ThanksgivingRecipe.com.
Ingredients
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 1/2 cups finely diced celery
  • 3/4 cup margarine, melted
  • 8 cups white bread cubes
  • 3 teaspoons poultry seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions
  • Cook sausage. Drain.
  • Melt margarine. Add enough to sausage drippings to make 1 cup.
  • Saute; onions and celery in margarine/dripping mixture until onion is tender. DO NOT BROWN. Stir in about 1/3 bread cubes. Put in big bowl and add remaining bread cubes, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Watch your hands, it’s hot. Mix well.
  • 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.
