Ingredients

2 loaves whole wheat bread, cut into small cubes
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 pound mild Italian sausage
4 medium onions, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
½ cup butter, or more to taste
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons rubbed dried sage leaves
1 ½ teaspoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried summer savory
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon dried marjoram
¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup chicken broth, or more to taste

Steps:

Place bread cubes in a large bowl.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onions, celery, 1/2 cup butter, and garlic. Saute until onions appear translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add sage, parsley, savory, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, marjoram, thyme, and nutmeg; mix well. Stir in 1 cup broth.
Slowly pour broth and sausage mixture over bread cubes, stirring continuously as you pour. Add additional broth and butter as desired.
Stuffing is ready to bake in the oven or stuff in the bird.
