Mushroom Sausage Stuffing Recipes

MAKE AHEAD THANKSGIVING MUSHROOM SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Brush a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Set aside.
• Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add celery and onions; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté until vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Scrape into very large bowl.
• Add 1 Tbsp. oil to same skillet. Add mushrooms; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté until mushrooms brown and liquid evaporates, about 4-5 minutes. Scrape mushrooms into bowl with celery.
• Add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil and sausage to same skillet. Sauté until brown and cooked through, about 8 minutes; add to bowl with vegetables.
• Add the broth and brandy to the same skillet. Bring to simmer, scraping up browned bits. Pour broth mixture into same bowl. Add in the herbs, salt, and pepper and combine.
• Mix in bread. Spoon stuffing into prepared dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for at leas 6 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Remove plastic wrap; cover stuffing with foil. Bake 30 minutes. Uncover; bake until top begins to brown, about 25 minutes longer. Or if you don't have time to wait 25 minutes, broil and watch carefully so tops don't brown.

MUSHROOM/SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Brown sausage, add ½ butter, celery, onions, and mushrooms.
• Sauté over low - med heat.
• add remainder of butter, and ½ can of chicken broth.
• Add in a separate bowl, or pan, the breadcrumbs.
• Season with salt, pepper, and sage.
• When vegetables are tender, add to breadcrumbs, and mix well, add remaining broth as needed to sufficiently moisten stuffing.

MUSHROOM, WHITE SAUSAGE AND PROSCIUTTO STUFFING

Steps:

• Slice thin the mushrooms and chop the stems. In an eight-inch skillet over medium-low heat, melt three tablespoons of the butter, add the mushrooms and prosciutto and saute, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and browned, about 10 minutes. Add the walnuts and brown them lightly, then stir in the chopped shallots and garlic, and saute, stirring, for 30 seconds. Scrape the contents of the skillet into a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the remaining butter to the skillet and slowly brown the sausages on all sides.
• Drain, cool, cut up and put the sausages in the work bowl of a food processor and process until they are coarsely ground. In a large bowl, toss them with parsley, thyme and the mushroom and prosciutto mixture. Mix thoroughly, adding at the same time the flamed Cognac. (If making the stuffing a day early, set it aside to cool, then cover and refrigerate.)
• Just before stuffing the turkey, soak the bread cubes in milk for five minutes, then squeeze gently and toss lightly to render them fluffy. Add the bread to the stuffing and mix thoroughly, then fold in the beaten eggs. Correct the seasoning. Cool and set aside until ready to stuff the turkey.

SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOM STUFFING

Steps:

• Break up sausage and place in fairly deep skillet. Cook, stirring to break up lumps, until meat has lost raw look.
• Trim tough membranes from gizzard, liver and heart. Chop soft parts fine. There should be 1/3 to 1/2 cup. Add to sausage. Add onions and garlic. Cook, stirring, until onions are wilted. Stir in marjoram. Cook about 2 minutes.
• Add celery and mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand briefly. Add bread crumbs and eggs and stir to blend. Add parsley, salt and a generous grinding of pepper. There should be about 6 cups.

TRADITIONAL SAUSAGE-MUSHROOM TURKEY STUFFING

Steps:

• Pan fry sausage over medium-high heat until crumbled and cooked well. Set aside.
• In large fry pan, melt butter. Add celery, onion, and mushrooms. Saute until soft. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cook down until about 1/3 of the liquid remains.
• In large bowl, toss bread cubes with poultry seasoning, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add sausage and drippings to bowl and stir. Add vegetables and broth mixture to bowl and stir. Add egg and mix until fully combined. Mixture should be moist and bind together easily. (If not, add more chicken broth.).
• Stuff neck and body cavities of turkey, or spoon into a greased 2-quart casserole and cover with foil. Truss turkey and roast as usual or, if baking, add casserole to oven about 30 minutes end of turkey roasting time and let bake for 45 minutes. I have also successfully made stuffing balls with this recipe, rolling the stuffing mixture into balls (I got about 15 of them), placing them on a greased, foil-lined baking sheet and baking in a 350-degree oven for about 25 minutes. They were moist and delicious!

EASY SAUSAGE STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

• Stir 3 ounces Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, garlic, and parsley into sausage mixture. Cook and stir until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stuff each mushroom cap with sausage mixture and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Sprinkle remaining 1 ounce Parmesan cheese over mushrooms and bake until mushrooms are cooked through and cheese is melted and bubbling, about 3 minutes.
