Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 links mild Italian sausage
- 1 large yellow onion, cut in half and thinly sliced (use the whole onion)
- 6 cups torn white sandwich bread, crusts removed
- 6 cups torn whole wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup sliced scallions (green onions)
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh sage
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh marjoram
- 1 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 3/4 cup low-sodium 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.
