Ingredients

  • 1 lb turkey sausage, casing removed (or Italian sausage)
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms (button or cremini)
  • 12 cup yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
  • 1 loaf French baguette, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 4-6 cups cubed)
  • 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 12 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 12 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
  • 1 12 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth (or more as needed)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 325F (or if cooking inside turkey, preheat to 450F).
  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • When pan is hot, add sausage and cook 3 to 5 minutes, until browned and cooked through, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
  • Add mushrooms, onion, garlic, and poultry seasoning and cook 3 minutes, until mushrooms soften.
  • Transfer mixture to a large bowl and add bread cubes, artichoke hearts, cheese, parsley, and 1 1/2 cups broth.
  • Toss to combine, allowing liquid to soften bread cubes.
  • If stuffing seems dry, add more broth to soak cubes.
  • Bake stuffing at 325F for 30 minutes in shallow baking dish.
  • ** If cooking in turkey: Loosely stuff bread mixture into turkey (extra stuffing can be baked in shallow dish next to the turkey).
  • Place turkey in preheated oven and immediately reduce oven temperature to 325F Roast turkey 20 minutes per pound, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 180-185F.
