Ingredients

8 tablespoons butter (divided 2 and 6)
2-3 fresh sage leaves
2 small yellow or white onions
2 stalks celery
2 carrots (peeled)
4 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning blend
1 teaspoon marjoram
1 pound sausage meat (can be a little more or less)
1/4-1/2 cup turkey broth (can use chicken or beef, depending on needs)
1/4 cup fresh parsley
20 ounce loaf of bread (Really any baguette or similarly sized bread will do.)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 unless you plan to stuff a chicken or turkey. In those cases, follow those recipes instructions for oven temperature.
Prepare the veggies by washing the carrots and celery, peeling the carrots, and dicing the veggies into smaller pieces.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add in the sage leaves and minced garlic and saute for about a minute or until the leaves start to wilt and the garlic becomes fragrant.
Add in the minced carrots, celery, and onions along with the dry seasonings.
Saute for about 5 to 7 minutes or until veggies start to soften.
Add in the sausage meat and break up with your spatula.
Cook the sausage until it fully browns and then remove from heat.
Carefully remove the sage from the veggies.
As the sausage cooks, cube up the bread and add to a large bowl.
Pour in the cooked sausage and veggies along with the broth and parsley.
Mix thoroughly to combine.
You want the bread to moist, not damp. If it is not moist, add in a small amount of broth and mix to combine. Continue adding small amounts of broth until the bread is moistened but not soaked.
Spray a deep baking dish with non-stick spray and scoop the stuffing into it, spreading it out evenly.
Slice the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter into about six squares and place them on top of the stuffing mixture.
Place an aluminum foil sheet over the top and bake for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, carefully remove the foil and continue to cook for another 10 minutes uncovered or until the top of the stuffing starts to turn golden brown.
Remove from the oven and serve fresh with your favorite main dish and sides.
