Italian Sausage Stuffing
2 links Tofurkey Sweet Italian Sausage, minced
2 tbs olive oil
1 tbs dried basil
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 carrots, shredded
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
10 oz package frozen spinach, thawed & drained
2 cups chicken flavored broth
12 oz stuffing cubes
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Mince the sausage links. Heat the olive oil in a large pan and brown the sausage a bit. Add onion, celery, carrots, and garlic and continue cooking until the onion is soft. Add drained spinach. Chop it up some more if it is stringy. Stir into the sausage and veggies.
In a separate bowl, pour the broth over the stuffing cubes and toss until the stock is evenly absorbed. Stir the cubes in with the sausage mixture. Press the stuffing and sausage mixture into a casserole, smashing it down in with a wooden spoon. The mixture will fit into a 9 x 13 casserole or a deeper 2 quart casserole. Cover and bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour.
