Ingredients
- 1 lb Italian bread
- 1 lb mild Italian sausage
- 3 stalks of celery
- 1 yellow onion
- 1 stick of unsalted butter ½ cup
- 1 and ½ cups turkey broth or chicken broth
- 2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- If bread is stale, cut into cubes and set aside. If bread is fresh, cut into cubes and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 225F for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Finely dice the celery and onion and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350F and rub butter inside a 9x13 casserole dish.
- Taking casing off sausage. Crumble and brown in a large pot over medium heat for about 7 minutes. Remove sausage from the pot with a slotted spoon and reduce heat to medium-low.
- Melt butter in the pot and pour in the celery and onion. Saute until onions are translucent and celery is soft about 8-10 minutes. Turn off heat and add the sausage back into the pot along with the cubed bread, broth, parsley and salt.
- Toss to mix all of the ingredients together. The bread should be damp from the broth. If you see lots of pieces of dry bread you can add up to ½ cup more broth to the pot
- Pour into the greased casserole dish. Cover with a piece of foil and bake at 350F for 45 minutes covered. Then uncover and bake for another 20-25 minutes. The top should be golden brown. If you like more of a crisp on top you can broil for just a minute or two before serving.

Notes
- You can use any bread and any sausage that you like. I personally like a sourdough bread with apple sausage or a cornbread with jalapeño sausage
