Report
This is, quite simply, the best sausage stuffing recipe! Rich with fresh herbs, chicken Italian sausage and tender cubes of bread, it’s my family’s favorite Thanksgiving side dish. And a bonus – it can be made ahead of time!

Ingredients
- 4 teaspoons olive oil divided
- 4 Italian chicken sausage links, mild
- 1 yellow onion cut in half and thinly sliced (use the whole onion, large

- 6 cups whole wheat sandwich bread crusts removed, cubes
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 cup celery chopped
- ½ cup scallions green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons sage finely chopped, fresh
- 1 ½ tablespoons marjoram or 1 ½ teaspoons dried, finely chopped fresh
- 1 ½ tablespoons thyme or 1 ½ teaspoons dried, finely chopped fresh
- ½ cup parsley flat-leaf, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg freshly grated
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 ¾ to 2 cups chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add yellow onion and squeeze the sausages out of their casings into the skillet. Cook until the sausage is no longer pink, crumbling with a wooden spoon.
- In a large bowl, combine the sausage mixture with the bread cubes.
- Turn the heat to medium. Melt butter and add remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil. Add chopped celery, green onion, sage, marjoram, parsley, and ground nutmeg. Cook, stirring frequently, until the celery is soft, about 5 minutes.
- Toss with the bread mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in chicken broth and toss again.
- Lightly coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Transfer the stuffing to the baking dish and bake until the stuffing is heated through and a light crust forms on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
Notes
- Note: I used Franz bread (about 80 calories per slice), which is available in the bread aisle of many grocery stores. This is reflected in the nutritional information.
