Sage, Mushroom & Sausage Dressing

By flour_arrangements

Moist and hearty, this stuffing is nicely seasoned with sausage, sage and fresh mushrooms. Sometimes I use it to stuff the bird...and other times I bake it separately.

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound bulk pork sausage
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 celery ribs, chopped
• 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
• 2 teaspoons canola oil
• 6 cups cubed day-old bread
• 1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup egg substitute
• 2 teaspoons rubbed sage
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, onion, celery and mushrooms in oil until meat is no longer pink; drain if necessary. In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; add sausage mixture and toss to coat.

Transfer to a greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. Cover and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until lightly browned.
