Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 pound country pork sausage
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ½ medium yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 2 ribs celery (finely chopped)
- 12 ounces dried bread cubes
- ¼ cup fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Set a saute pan over medium high heat on the stovetop and add the pork sausage. Cook until well browned, breaking into crumbles as it cooks.
- Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon, reserving any rendered fat in the skillet. Melt butter into the fat and add the chopped celery and onions. Saute until tender and beginning to brown.
- Pour the dried bread cubes into a large bowl along with the crumbled sausage, parsley, beaten eggs, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Add the butter and onion mixture then gently mix to combine.
- Pour in the chicken broth and gently combine further to ensure all of the bread cubes are evenly coated.
- Scoop out two tablespoons of the stuffing mixture, firmly pack it into a ball, and place the stuffing balls on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with all of the remaining sausage stuffing.
- Place the sausage stuffing balls in the oven for 25 minutes, then remove and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve your stuffing balls with cranberry sauce, or turkey gravy.
