Recipe: Homemade Sausage Stuffing
Course: Side Dish
Servings: 6-8 people
Time to Make: 1 Hour 10 Minutes
Ingredients:
1/4 Cup unsalted butter
1 TBS olive oil
1 lb Italian Sausage (I like turkey)
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 cup sliced celery
Salt and Pepper
2 TBS fresh sage
1/4 fresh parsley
1 large egg
1 lb sourdough bread (or gluten free bread)
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
Instructions:
1. Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9' by 13' baking dish.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add Italian sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon into small pieces. Cook until no longer pink. Once cooked, remove from skillet and set aside for later.
3. Using the leftover sausage grease or more olive oil, add chopped onion and celery to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until tender. About 5 to 7 minutes. Add sage and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from skillet, and add to the bowl with sausage. Let cool for about 5 minutes.
4. Once cooled, add parsley, egg and bread, stirring until combined. Add chicken broth, continuing to stir mixture until the broth is absorbed, but not soaked.
5. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish. Dot with butter. Bake until warmed through and the top is crusted and brown. About 40-45 minutes.

Weekly Menu #533 And The Book Of The Week
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving filled with good food and people who actually make you feel good. Not the narcissists you are somehow obligated to see because they are family. We had one of those gatherings and let me tell you, its so predictable how it turned out.
Anyway, enough about the dramatic side of the family and more about the books. This weeks read is The Fragile Threads of Power by V.E. Schwab. I love this author and even though I have dipped into this book a little bit already, I'm still very excited to finish it. Its already intriguing at 4% of the way in.
Lets get to this weeks menu. Enjoy!
