This twist on a classic sausage and sourdough stuffing uses smoky Portuguese linguiça in place of crumbled pork sausage. Kielbasa or any smoked sausage would also work.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces sourdough bread, crusts removed and cubed
  • 4 ounces linguiça sausage or kielbasa, halved lengthwise and cut into thin slices
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, quartered
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups unsalted chicken stock (such as Swanson)
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • Cooking spray

How to Make It

Step 1

Step 4

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sausage to pan; cook 2 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Add sausage to bread. Return pan to medium-high heat. Add onion and celery to pan; sauté 5 minutes or until golden. Stir in thyme, sage, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; sauté 1 minute. Add onion mixture and parsley to bread mixture; toss to combine.

Step 5

Return pan to medium-high heat. Add oil; swirl to coat. Add mushrooms; sauté 5 minutes or until browned. Stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add mushroom mixture to bread mixture; toss to combine.

Good recipe for Kielbasa

We did a couple substitutions. We used 1 lb of Kielbasa (we package our Kielbasa in 1 lb increments) , added some bell peppers with the onions and celery, and used some leftover buns instead of sourdough (will try sour dough next time).The dish was really tasty. I will definitely be making this during the holidays. Our kielbasa wasn't cooked, so for the first step i put the kielbasa in a pan, added about 1/2" of water and drizzled with oil. I cooked on med-high heat and let the sausage cook for a few minutes after all the water evaporated to get a crisp skin.

Was looking for a new Thanksgiving stuffing recipe but sadly, I don't think this is it. We used kielbasa, so maybe it would be better with the linguica. But we thought it was pretty bland and I won't make it again.
