Sausage
Servings: 8
Work Time: 30 Minutes / Total Time: 1 Hour 55
Minutes /
Ingredients:
2 tsp canola oil
1 lg onion, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
3 lg ribs celery, chopped (about 2 c)
3 Tbsp thinly sliced fresh sage leaves or 1 Tbsp
dried
2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
1 1/2 tsp whole fennel seeds (optional)
1 1/2 c fat-free milk "plus" (we used Over the
Moon)
1/2 c reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 sliced bakery loaf 100% whole wheat bread (about
1 lb), cut into bite-size cubes (about 10 c)
8 oz fully cooked smoked turkey or chicken sausage,
chopped
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat 11" x 7" baking
dish with oil or cooking spray.
2. Put oil in Dutch oven over medium heat. Add
onion and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion turns
golden, about 25 minutes.
3. Add celery, sage, garlic, and fennel seeds, if
using, and cook 5 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and add milk, broth, bread, and
sausage. Stir well, season to taste with salt and freshly ground black
pepper, and put in prepared baking dish.
5. Coat top of stuffing lightly with more oil or
cooking spray, cover dish with foil, and bake 30 minutes. Remove foil
and continue to bake until top is brown and crisp, about 40 minutes.
TIP: You can put this stuffing together a
few days before serving and store it in the fridge. Or, make it up to 2
weeks ahead and freeze it. Then, just thaw and reheat.
