MOM'S SAUSAGE AND CRANBERRY STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
• Dice bread into 3/4-inch cubes; spread into an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven, stirring several times, until toasted, about 45 minutes. Keep oven on.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until foaming, about 2 minutes; do not allow butter to burn. Add Italian and andouille sausages. Cook, breaking sausages up into fine pieces, until just a few bits of pink remain, about 8 minutes.
• Add onion, celery, garlic, sage, rosemary, thyme, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir frequently until vegetables are softened, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 2 cups chicken broth, orange juice, and 1 tablespoon orange zest.
• Whisk remaining 2 cups chicken broth, eggs, and parsley together in a medium bowl until combined. Slowly stir in the sausage mixture. Gently fold in the toasted bread cubes, stuffing mix, and dried cranberries until evenly mixed. Transfer to a buttered 9x13-inch baking dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
• Bake until an instant-read thermometer reads 150 degrees F (66 degrees C), about 45 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake until crispy and golden brown on top, about 10 more minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with additional parsley if desired.

MOM M'S SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees (or whatever temperature you are using for other dishes in oven).
• Butter or lightly oil a 9 x 13 inch baking pan/dish.
• Brown sausage, remove from pan.
• In same pan, saute onions until translucent.
• Beat eggs and chicken broth in a medium bowl.
• Mix sausage, onions, egg mix and all other ingredients in a very large bowl. Add more broth if it seems dry -- it should be fairly damp to the touch.
• Put all ingredients in baking pan/dish. Place in oven and check after 30 minutes. Cover with foil if it starts to get dry or too brown on top. Continue to bake for 15 - 30 minutes more.

MOM'S AWESOME STUFFING

Steps:

• Brown sausage and drain partially. (Keep some grease for stuffing).
• Cook Pepperidge Farm stuffing according to directions on package.
• Mix sausage, part of grease, cooked stuffing and all other ingredients, cooking on low on stovetop, continue to cook a while and taste, cook and taste.
• When it taste to your liking, you can either put it in the oven for 350 degrees for an hour or hour and a half or the best way is to stuff the turkey loosely with it. Don't forget to sew the turkey. If you do stuff the turkey, you will most likely have extra stuffing so you will have to bake some of it in a oven safe dish like I was talking about before.
• If you cook it in a dish in the stove, make sure you stir it every 20-30 minutes.

MOM'S SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• If using giblets to create your own broth, simmer in a medium pan with at least 2 cups of water for 1 1/2 hours prior to making this stuffing. If using bone broth or other broth, prepare and set aside.
• Saute sausage in a medium skillet until brown. When the sausage is browned, add 3 tablespoons butter, diced celery and onion, (if you are using) and saute it all together on low until vegetables are soft. In a bowl, mix 2 eggs and at least one cup of the liquid (milk and giblet water), add salt, pepper and poultry seasoning, mix well and set aside. In a large roaster or large bowl, place the breadcrumbs and pour the sausage mixture over the top. Pour the egg/liquid ingredients over that and begin mixing. I usually put a plastic glove on and use my hands! Mix until moist. You will most likely need to add more giblet water/broth to make it moist. Prepare the turkey for baking, according to directions on the package. Place enough stuffing to fill the turkey cavity 2/3 full. Follow the directions on the package to roast the turkey according to weight and oven temperature with stuffing. The internal temperature of the stuffing should be 165* when done.
• The stuffing can be baked separately in a crockpot by using a liner, cooking on low, check temperature at 45 minutes.
• Oven baked: Line a 9x9 pan ( or similar) with parchment paper, foil or baking bag and grease it thoroughly before adding stuffing. It will stick and you will never get it out of the pan if you do not follow this step! Bake at 350* for 30 minutes and check for internal temperature of 165* adjust time accordingly until fully cooked. Watch it so that it does not burn.
