Sausage Stuffing
1 pound bulk breakfast sausage
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 1/2 cups finely chopped celery
1 cup (combined) margarine and drippings from sausage
8 cups bread cubes
3 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1. Cook sausage. Drain.
2. Melt margarine. Add enough to sausage drippings to
make 1 cup.
3. Sauté 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.
4. 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.
