Source of Recipe
Internet
List of Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 medium stalks celery with leaves, chopped
2 medium red bell peppers, cored, seeded and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage, casings removed
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper
7 cups day-old crusty Italian bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups turkey broth or reduced-sodium chicken broth
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, celery, bell peppers and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add sausage and cook, breaking up meat with a spoon, until it loses its pink color, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in basil, oregano, salt and crushed red pepper. Transfer to a large bowl.
Stir in bread and Parmesan. Stir in butter, wine and enough of the stock to moisten the stuffing, about 1 cup. Use to stuff turkey.
If baking separately, add additional 1/2 cup broth to make a more moist mixture. Place in a buttered baking dish, cover and bake 30 minutes. Remove cover and bake an additional 10 minutes to form a crust. Makes about 10 cups.
Note: If bread is very fresh, cut it into cubes, spread out on a baking sheet and let stand several hours to air-dry.
