"BreadStuffing" news and stories

This recipe, it's the one I've always loved. Nothing comes close to the delicious simplicity of sausage and bread stuffing, and this one has become a favorite of family and friends. I'll include the recipe as-is, and offer a list of suggestions on how to twist it below.

Note: This is all a matter of taste. You can go for the exact amount that matches your bird's weight, or make by sight -- preparing the bread first makes it easier to determine.

Ingredients:

1 lb First Prize Sausage -- pick any good and flavorful sausage
1/2 cup minced onions
1/2 cup minced celery
1/4 cup minced parsley
10 slices of bread cubed
1 1/2 tsp Bell's seasoning
1 beaten egg

• Saute sausage until crispy, drain, then rinse with water. (I usually leave out the rinse.)
• Saute the onions and celery, then mix with the sausage and add Bell's.

• Squeeze and mix the stuffing with your hands until it sticks together. If it looks too dry, add some broth or water.
• Cover and refrigerate until ready to stuff turkey.

Now, to spice things up:

• add a variety of mushrooms to the mix
• use a mix of sausages -- Mennonite, elk, etc.
• use a gourmet bread and approximate the same amount
