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.

Steps:

• Saute sausage until brown; remove from pan and cut into small bites.

THE BEST STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon and breaking up any clumps, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage with a slotted spoon to a large bowl.
• Add the wine to the skillet and cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated, scraping up any browned bits, about 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter to the skillet, and then add the mushrooms. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms brown and have cooked down to about half their original volume, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms with a slotted spoon to the bowl with the sausage.
• Melt the remaining 7 tablespoons butter in the skillet. Then add the celery, onions, sage and thyme and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a simmer.
• Beat the eggs and parsley in another large bowl. Add the bread cubes and toss. Add the reserved sausage and mushrooms and toss together. Pour in the vegetables and broth and toss again until evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Then uncover and continue to bake until golden, about 30 minutes more. Garnish with celery leaves if using.

GRANDMOM JACOBS' SAVORY STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to broil.
• Place the bread cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment and drizzle over the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toast for 3 to 5 minutes until golden brown. Make sure to watch them so they don't burn. Remove the cubes and switch the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery, onion and thyme and season with salt and pepper. Saute until softened, about 8 minutes. Remove the vegetables to a large bowl.
• Add the toasted bread and saltines to the vegetables. Add the stock slowly, tossing gently, until the bread is moist but not too soggy; you may not use all of your stock. Place in a greased 9-by-13-inch baking dish and bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes until golden brown.

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.

MOM'S BEST STUFFING

Steps:

• Break dried bread into small pieces. Add the rest of ingredients in a large bowl except chicken broth. Mix with hands and add chicken broth accordingly --enough to be like a "gooey meatloaf". Place in a large roaster tin, cover with tinfoil. Bake for 2 hours at 350 degrees. Stir after 1 hour of baking and place tinfoil back on. When finished baking, let it set and the stuffing will thicken.
