Farro And Sausage 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.

FARRO AND SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add sausage; cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until deep golden brown, about 7 minutes. Remove meat; set aside.
• Add 1 tablespoon oil, the fennel, onion, and garlic to pot. Reduce heat to medium; cook, stirring, until fennel and onion are softened, about 5 minutes. Add wine; cook until reduced by half.
• Stir in 2 cups water, the farro, kale, stock, zest, 2 tablespoons fronds, 1 tablespoon each rosemary and oil, and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat; simmer until farro is tender, 15 minutes. Stir in sausage, 1 tablespoon rosemary, and 2 tablespoons fronds. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve, or immediately pack loosely in turkey cavity, and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of stuffing registers 165 degrees.
