Crispy Traybake Stuffing Food

CLASSIC SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚. Butter a 3-quart baking dish. Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up the meat, until no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onions, celery, sage and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
• Whisk the eggs and parsley in a large bowl. Add the bread cubes and sausage-broth mixture and toss until evenly combined. Transfer to the prepared baking dish, dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cover with foil.
• Bake the stuffing until hot, about 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving.

CRISPY TRAYBAKE STUFFING

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large, non-stick pan over a medium heat and cook the onions for 10 mins until softened. Add the apple, cook for 2-3 mins more, then set aside.
• Tip the sausagemeat into a large bowl, and combine with the onion and apple mixture, all the other ingredients and some seasoning. Use your hands to mix everything really well. Can be kept in the fridge up to two days before baking.
• While the turkey crown is resting, spread the stuffing into a large shallow roasting tin and cook in the oven with the turkey legs for 30-35 mins until the top has formed a crust. Serve immediately with the reserved sage leaves scattered over.
