Thanksgiving Sausage Stuffing

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Prep breadcrumbs. Add 4 slices of whole wheat bread into a food processor and pulse until breadcrumbs form. Set aside.

Wash and clean your celery. Chop into small pieces.

Peel onion and add it to a food processor. Chop into small pieces. You can definitely do this by hand, but this is way easier and I prefer extremely small pieces of onion in my stuffing.

Add the butter into a large skillet and let melt.

Add chopped celery and onion into butter. Saute the veggies until soft. Remove and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, add uncooked breakfast sausage, egg, fresh breadcrumbs, sautéed vegetables and poultry seasoning.

Mix with clean hands until combined.

Heat a large pan oven medium heat and add the sausage mixture.

Brown and cook until fully cooked through.

Once the sausage stuffing is cooked through, add it into a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.

Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes covered. After 30 minutes, remove foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes.

Serve hot and enjoy!
