Steps:

• Tear the bread into pieces and whizz around in a food processor until it forms breadcrumbs. Transfer to a mixing bowl. See note 1.
• Chop the onion in a food processor until it is very finely chopped (approximately the size of rice grains). Add to the breadcrumbs in the mixing bowl. See note 1.
• Slit the skins of the sausages and remove the meat. Add to the mixing bowl.
• Add the dried sage and parsley to the mixing bowl. See note 2.
• Mix thoughly to combine all the ingredients together.
• Use half of the mixture to stuff one chicken before roasting. Form the remainder into balls and freeze for later use. See note 3.

CLASSIC SAGE AND SAUSAGE STUFFING (DRESSING) RECIPE

Steps:

• Adjust oven racks to lower-middle and upper-middle positions. Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C). Spread bread evenly over 2 rimmed baking sheets. Stagger trays on oven racks and bake until completely dried, about 50 minutes total, rotating trays and stirring bread cubes several times during baking. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Increase oven temperature to 350°F (180°C).
• In a large Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat until foaming subsides (do not allow butter to brown), about 2 minutes. Add sausage and mash with a stiff whisk or potato masher to break up into fine pieces (largest pieces should be no bigger than 1/4 inch). Cook, stirring frequently, until only a few bits of pink remain, about 8 minutes. Add onion, celery, garlic, and sage and cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add half of chicken stock.
• Whisk remaining chicken stock, eggs, and 3 tablespoons parsley in a medium bowl until homogeneous. Stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, slowly pour egg mixture into sausage mixture. Add bread cubes and fold gently until evenly mixed.
• Use part of stuffing to stuff turkey, if desired (see note). To cook remaining stuffing, transfer to a buttered 9- by 13-inch rectangular baking dish (or 10- by 14-inch oval dish), cover tightly with aluminum foil, and bake until an instant-read thermometer reads 150°F (66°C) when inserted into center of dish, about 45 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until golden brown and crisp on top, 15 to 20 minutes longer. Remove from oven, let cool for 5 minutes, sprinkle with remaining parsley, and serve.

SAGE, ONION AND SAUSAGE STUFFING BALLS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a low heat until foaming. Add the onions and fry gently for 8-10 minutes, or until softened. Remove from the heat.
• Stir in the remaining ingredients and season generously with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
• If you are making stuffing balls, lightly grease a baking tray and, using wet hands, shape the stuffing into balls about 2½cm/1in in diameter and place on the prepared tray. If preferred transfer the stuffing mixture to a 20cm/8in square tin and press down to smooth the surface. Cover with cling film and transfer to the fridge for at least 30 minutes, but up to two days (assuming the meat is fresh). (The stuffing can be frozen at this stage, but will need to be thoroughly defrosted before cooking.)
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
• Roast the stuffing for 30-40 minutes until cooked through (balls will take about 30 minutes, and a tray 40 minutes).

BEST SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Place sausage in a large, deep skillet; cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown, about 10 minutes. Remove sausage from the skillet and let drain on paper towels. Combine melted margarine with the sausage drippings until there is 1 cup of drippings and margarine combined.
• Cook and stir onion and celery in the margarine-dripping mixture in the same skillet over medium heat until onion is tender but not browned, about 10 minutes . Stir in about 1/3 of the bread cubes. Pour onion mixture into a large bowl and stir in remaining bread cubes, sausage, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Watch your hands, it's hot. Mix well. This stuffing is ready for baking.

EASIEST SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Combine sausage, celery, and onion in a skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until sausage is browned and crumbled, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer cooked mixture to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up excess oil.
• Pour water into a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in butter until melted. Add stuffing mix, cover, and remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes. Add cooked sausage mixture and stir to combine.

SAGE AND ONION STUFFING

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan. Fry the onion, bay and a pinch of salt gently for 15 mins over a low heat until the onions are softened and translucent. Add the garlic and sage and fry for 1 min. Leave to cool for 10 mins.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Stir the breadcrumbs and beaten egg through the onion mixture. Season to taste. Divide into 12 balls, weighing for accuracy, if you like. Bake on a flat baking sheet lined with parchment for 25-30 mins or until golden brown. Serve as part of a roast dinner.

SAUSAGE STUFFING WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Place sausage in a large skillet over medium heat and cook until browned, turning frequently, 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat and transfer sausage to paper-towel-lined plate. Reserve fat in pan. Cool sausage, then chop. Return pan to stove. Add fennel, carrot, celery, leek, onion and garlic, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté over medium heat, stirring frequently, until vegetables are lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place fennel seeds in a small skillet and toast over medium heat, tossing frequently, until fragrant and lightly colored, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs and 2 cups chicken broth together. Add bread and stir until coated evenly. Add sausage, sautéed vegetables, raisins, thyme, sage and fennel seeds. If bread cubes seem dry, add additional chicken broth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Turn into a 3-quart gratin dish and cover with foil. Bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until stuffing is brown, about 10 minutes more.

SAGE AND ONION STUFFING

Steps:

• Dice onions.
• Put them in a pan with just enough water to cover them and parboil.
• Chop the fesh sage finely, if using.
• Drain the onions.
• Mix fresh or powdered sage and oninons in a bowl with the bread crumbs.
• Melt butter, add to stuffing, and season to taste.
• Stuff the bird of your choice or cook at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes in a well greased pan.

SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Add onions, celery, mushrooms, sage, poultry seasoning, 1 stick of butter and chicken stock to a pot. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender. Allow to cool.
• In a large bowl combine stuffing mix, browned sausage, and all of the vegetables but not all of the stock. Mix lightly. Add the eggs and continue to add the stock until the stuffing comes together.
• Lightly spray a large oven proof bowl with cooking spray. Loosely spoon the stuffing into the bowl, do not pack in tightly. Dot the top with the remaining 2 tbs of butter.
• Bake at 350 (or whatever temp your other items need to cook at) for 1 hour or until the stuffing reaches an internal temperature of 180 and the top is lightly browned and slightly crisp. If you prefer a moister stuffing then cover with foil for the majority of the cooking and leave uncovered for the last 30 minutes.
