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

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.
