SAUSAGE STUFFING RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9x13" pan, set aside.

• Add onion, garlic, celery, rosemary, sage leaves, and parsley and cook until veggies are soft and sausage is browned (about 5 minutes).
• Add salt and pepper and stir to combine.
• Add sausage mixture to the bowl with the stuffing and mix until evenly combined. Taste the stuffing and adjust the salt and pepper as desired.
• At this point, you can use this stuffing to stuff a turkey or bake as described in the next steps:
• Add stuffing to the prepared baking dish.
• Bake 20-25 minutes in the preheated oven until the top is set and slightly browned/firm. I personally love a crunchy top, but if you like it soft you can bake it covered with foil.
• Serve warm!
