Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for pan
1 1/2 pounds sweet Italian sausage, casing removed
3 large celery stalks, sliced crosswise into 1/4" pieces (about 2 cups); plus whole leaves for serving (optional)
2 (1-pound) loaves cranberry-nut bread, cut into 1" cubes
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preparation Preheat oven to 350°F. Oil a 3-qt. baking dish. Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over high. Cook sausage, breaking up into pieces with the back of a spoon, until just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add sliced celery and continue to cook, stirring often, until sausage is cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Transfer sausage mixture with drippings to a large bowl. Add bread and toss to combine.
  • Add 2 cups water to hot skillet; heat over medium-high, scraping up brown bits with a spoon; season with salt and pepper. Pour over bread mixture, then toss to combine. Transfer to prepared baking dish and cover tightly with foil.
  • Bake stuffing 40 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until top is lightly browned and crisp, 20-25 minutes more. Top with celery leaves, if desired.
  • Do Ahead Stuffing can be made 4 hours ahead; store at room temperature and rewarm before serving.
