Holiday & Seasonal Recipes : Stuffings Last Updated: Jul 27th, 2009 - 18:12:26 Sausage & Bread Stuffing By Sandra Woodruff  Printer friendly page Yield: 12 servings 8 ounces ground turkey breakfast sausage or turkey Italian sausage with casings removed 1 1/4 cups finely chopped onion 1 1/4 cups finely chopped celery (include the leaves) 2 1/2 cups no-added-salt chicken broth 5 cups packaged dried herb-seasoned bread or cornbread stuffing mix (about 10 ounces)   1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. 2. Coat a 4-quart pot with cooking spray and add the sausage. Cook, stirring to crumble for several minutes or until the meat is no longer pink. Drain off and discard any fat. Add the onion and celery to the pot. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft. Add a little water if the pot becomes too dry, but only enough to prevent scorching. 3. Add the broth to the sausage mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and add the stuffing to pot while tossing gently, until the stuffing is moistened throughout. Add a little more broth if the mixture seems too dry. 4. Coat a 3-quart casserole dish with cooking spray, and spoon the stuffing lightly into the dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven, and let sit covered for 5 minutes before serving. Nutritional Facts (per 2/3-cup serving) Calories:  150 Carbohydrates: 20 g Fiber: 2.2 g Fat: 3.9 g Sat.
