Mom's Sausage & Sage Dressing

Step 1

In a skillet over medium heat, brown sausage until cooked. Remove from pan and set aside.

Step 2

In that same skillet, melt butter. Add celery and onion and cook until tender. About 10 minutes. Cool slightly so you are able to touch it for the next step.

Step 3

In a big bowl, combine sausage, celery, and onion with your bread crumbs. Working with your hands, add small amounts of broth until dressing is moist, and forms into a ball.

Step 4

Stuff your turkey full. (we typically make a 20 pound bird) Wrap remaining stuffing in heavy duty foil. * see notes to prepare in a casserole dish

Step 5

Bake turkey according to size and package instructions for a stuffed bird.

Step 6

To bake the foil package, place in oven with turkey about 45 minutes before turkey is done.

Step 7

When turkey is cooked, remove stuffing immediately.
