GRANDMA REID'S STUFFING

• In the same skillet, add the butter, onion, celery, apples and garlic. Cook until all ingredients are soft.

GRANDMA'S SAUSAGE TURKEY STUFFING

Steps:

• To make this easy to prepare, I chop the onion, celery and parsley first.
• In a large skillet, (I use an electric skillet for easy clean up) chop up the pork sausage with a utensil as it starts to cook. Just as this is starting to cook a bit, add your onion, celery, poultry seasoning and sage. Cook until the sausage is done and the celery and onion have cooked down. Taste it as it is safe to eat at this point. Add more seasoning if you think it needs it. It should taste like stuffing at this point and very good! Turn off heat.
• In a large bowl pour 1/2 bag of the cubed stuffing croutons, 1/2 of the chicken stock and 1/2 of the sausage. Stir well and repeat.
• Refrigerate overnight or until you are ready to use. Makes enough to stuff a 16-20 pound turkey and a small casserole on the side. Spray your casserole dish with vegetable spray and add some turkey drippings to the casserole while cooking. Casserole cooks in about 25 minutes on 325 degree oven.
• Enjoy!

• Stir in 1/2 cup water, the tomatoes and basil. Reduce the heat to medium; cover and cook until the vegetables are tender, 5 minutes. Uncover; add the sausages and cook through, 3 to 4 minutes. (Add a splash of water if the sauce gets too thick.) Top with more basil.
