Old Fashioned Stuffing image

This is my grandmother's old-fashioned bread stuffing recipe. It may be cooked as directed, or inside the turkey. It's enough to stuff a very large bird.

TENNESSEE PRIDE TURKEY STUFFING

Tennessee Pride Turkey Stuffing image

Make sure to use a good quality sausage, and you will love this recipe. See the notes of my changes, it makes it so much quicker and easier! I never bake this inside the turkey, because I personally prefer it baked separately...both ways are included.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 lb tennessee pride sausage, mild or sage (or any other sausage you like, ex bob evans)
2 c onion, chopped
1 c celery and leaves, chopped (i omitted)
2 tsp rubbed sage (see note below)
1 tsp marjoram (i omitted because i forgot to buy it at the store!)
10 c dry bread crumbs (see note below)
1/3 c fresh parsley
2 c chicken broth
2 Tbsp butter
salt and pepper

Steps:

1. Note: I honestly used Pepperidge Farm Stuffing with herb and sage in it instead of the bread crumbs and sage in the original recipe. It was AMAZING! However, the following directions are the original recipe.
2. Brown sausage, drain. Cook onion and celery in drippings until tender. Combine sausage, vegetables, sage, marjoram, bread crumbs and parsley in large mixing bowl. Stir in broth to moisten. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Stuff into turkey and roast to standard directions, OR dot with butter, cover and bake in greased 9x13 at 350 degrees 30-40 min. Uncover and bake 10 min or until golden brown.
4. Note: When I cook it, since I don't use the celery, I cook the onions in with the sausage.
