Source of Recipe


Barbara Beaudion


List of Ingredients




4 Italian pork sausage links (casings removed)
1/2 roll (about 6 ounces) of pork sausage
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 medium celery stalks, finely chopped
6 ounces cremini or similar mushrooms, sliced
1 12 tsp. each of dried sage, thyme, and oregano
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
5 pounds potatoes, peeled, boiled, and mashed


Recipe



Combine sausage meat in a large bowl and break up with a fork; season with salt and pepper.

In a large skillet, add oil and saute onion, celery, and mushrooms for about 10 minutes, or until vegetables are soft. Season to taste with, fresh or dried sage, thyme, and oregano.

Add meat mixture and cook over medium heat until sausage is cooked and lightly browned. Drain excess fat.
Add beaten egg and the chicken broth to the mashed potatoes and mix well.


Add the meat /vegetable mixture to the potatoes. Mix well (a potato masher is helpful for this) and refrigerate. If using to stuff a turkey, chill thoroughly before filling the bird.

If baking on the side (recommended), proceed as follows. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake the dressing in a large covered casserole for 1 hour. Remove the cover and bake for another 20 minutes to brown the top.

YIELD: 10 - 12 Servings

Variations: Add finely chopped walnuts, grated carrots, golden raisins, or chopped apples to the vegetable mixture.
