1 stick unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
1 onion, finely chopped
5 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 cups low-sodium chicken or turkey broth
2 large eggs

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and butter a 3-quart baking dish. Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, sage and thyme; season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
Whisk the eggs and parsley in a large bowl. Add the bread and the vegetable-broth mixture and stir until combined. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with the turkey drippings (or dot with butter); sprinkle with the paprika.
Cover the dish with foil and bake 30 minutes, then uncover and bake until golden, 25 to 30 more minutes.

Time 2h10m

Yield 15-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs hot pork sausage
1 stalk celery
2 -3 portabella mushrooms (cutup, 10 pieces)
3 large onions
1 zucchini
2 yellow squash
5 -7 slices whole wheat bread (cut into small cubes)
1 (16 ounce) package pepperidge farm herb seasoned stuffing mix
poultry seasoning (lots of it!)
sage (lots!)
cranberries (if you desire)
apple (Granny Smith is good but your choice)

Steps:

Brown sausage and drain partially. (Keep some grease for stuffing).
Cook Pepperidge Farm stuffing according to directions on package.
Mix sausage, part of grease, cooked stuffing and all other ingredients, cooking on low on stovetop, continue to cook a while and taste, cook and taste.
When it taste to your liking, you can either put it in the oven for 350 degrees for an hour or hour and a half or the best way is to stuff the turkey loosely with it. Don't forget to sew the turkey. If you do stuff the turkey, you will most likely have extra stuffing so you will have to bake some of it in a oven safe dish like I was talking about before.
If you cook it in a dish in the stove, make sure you stir it every 20-30 minutes.
