Easy Sage Sausage Thanksgiving Stuffing Recipe
For most, a Thanksgiving dinner is all about the turkey but for me it’s all about the stuffing! 🙂 It’s so delicious! Sage sausage stuffing is the kind I grew up eating so it’s my favorite. Plus it really is very simple to make. I usually end up buying the cube stuffing from the store, but I know many make their own, which is great too. We prefer stuffing made in a casserole dish instead of inside the turkey and here’s the recipe.
Sage Sausage Thanksgiving Stuffing
Ingredients:
* 1 – 16oz box of stuffing mix
* 1 cup chicken broth
* 3 celery ribs chopped
* 1/2 cup butter
* 1 small onion diced
* 1 pound breakfast sausage (such as Jimmy Dean Sage Sausage)
* 2 tsp poultry seasoning
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
* 1 chopped green apple (optional)
Directions:
Saute onion and celery with butter until soft, and set aside. Brown sausage and drain. Combine stuffing mix, poultry seasoning, sausage, apples, walnuts and the onion and celery mixture into a greased casserole dish. Pour chicken broth over mixture and gently stir. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees covered and another 15 minutes uncovered. Add more broth if it gets too dry.
On this day I forgot the apples but they do pair well with the walnuts and sausage. Adjust recipe to what your family enjoys. I love how the top gets brown and a little crispy. And it smells so great too!
Hooray for stuffing! Break out the elastic waist pants and have some more! 😉

I prefer it in the dish and crunchy is better than mushy
I prefer it also prepared in a dish/casserole and do not like it wet or mushy either. I was surprised to not see sage in the recipe being the name said sage. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the comment! I use sage sausage and poultry seasoning with sage included. 🙂
Does anyone have a great vegetarian stuffing recipe? Hosting my 1st Thanksgiving for 12 people and my husband and I are vegetarians.

This one would be good since you can add in apples and walnuts. Just leave out the sausage.
You can omit the sausage and use the celery, onion, walnuts, and apples, and change to vegetable broth?
I have one that you use a crock pot so it stays hot for our buffet style eating.
all about the stuffing for me as well, Thanks!! Sage is a great idea 🙂
We eat casserole style stuffing as well but ours is cornbread stuffing. It’s my favorite part of the meal, well except for dessert!!
Oh hey Lina. Nice to see another Lina out there😄
