Ingredients
- 1 Pound SWEET ITALIAN TURKEY SAUSAGE
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 Cup dry white wine
- 1 Teaspoon dry fennel
- 1/2 Teaspoon salt
- 1 Teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1/2 Cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 8 Cups Italian or French bread, cut in 1/2-inch cubes
Instructions
- Cut sausage into bite-sized pieces. Cook sausage in a large, heavy pan until browned, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in onion and cook for 7 minutes more. Add celery and cook about 5 more minutes. Cool sausage mixture.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, wine, fennel, salt, thyme and parsley together. Add cooled sausage and bread cubes to the egg mixture. Stir to mix well
- Loosely stuff turkey just before roasting. Place any remaining stuffing in a buttered baking pan, cover and bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven until cooked through, about 30 minutes. Be sure to cook the turkey stuffing and the casserole stuffing to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
