This Sage Sausage Stuffing is a flavorful and savory holiday side dish made with crusty bread, Italian sausage, fresh herbs, and vegetables. It’s the perfect stuffing recipe for Thanksgiving or any festive meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf crusty Italian or French bread (about 14 oz), cubed and dried
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (sweet or spicy), removed from casing
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 Tbsp fresh sage, finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 1/2 to 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 large eggs
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and set aside.
  2. Dry bread cubes overnight or toast them in the oven at 250°F for 30–40 minutes until crispy.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through. Remove sausage and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté onion and celery for about 5-7 minutes until soft. Add garlic, sage, and thyme; cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine bread cubes, cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, and chopped parsley.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and 2 1/2 cups chicken broth. Pour over the bread mixture and toss until well coated. Add more broth if mixture feels too dry.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the stuffing sit for 10 minutes to absorb liquid.
  8. Transfer stuffing to prepared baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 20-25 minutes until top is golden and crispy.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can prepare this stuffing a day in advance and refrigerate it until ready to bake.
  • Use any crusty bread like sourdough, French, or Italian for best texture.
  • Customize with add-ins like mushrooms, apples, or nuts if desired.
