Sausage Stuffing

Ingredients

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • ¾ cup chopped onion
  • 1 ½ cups finely diced celery
  • ¾ cup margarine, melted
  • 8 cups white bread cubes
  • 3 teaspoons poultry seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  • Cook sausage. Drain.
  • Melt margarine. Add enough to sausage drippings to make 1 cup.
  • Saute; onions and celery in margarine/dripping mixture until onion is tender. DO NOT BROWN. Stir in about 1/3 bread cubes. Put in big bowl and add remaining bread cubes, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Watch your hands, it s hot. Mix well.
  • Stuff turkey. You can also omit the sausage, increase the bread cubes to 9 cups, and add a teaspoon or two of salt. You can also add apples, giblets, oysters, etc. This recipe is very adaptable. When cooking extra in the oven, place the stuffing in a buttered casserole dish, and place in a pan of hot water. Cover, and baste with turkey drippings occasionally. It comes out really good.
