- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound spicy Italian sausage
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick or 57g) salted butter
- 2 medium onions, cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 3 cups)
- 6 stalks celery with leaves, cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 2 1/2 cups)
- 2 loaves (9-inch each) French bread, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon celery salt
- 1 teaspoon dried sage, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 4 cups warm chicken stock, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- In large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add sausage to skillet and cook about 10 minutes, or until sausage is cooked through (browned with no pink). Transfer to a large bowl and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter. Stir in onion and celery, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally for about 5-10 minutes. You want onions to be translucent.
- Transfer to the bowl with the sausage and add bread cubes, parsley, celery salt, sage, rosemary, thyme, cranberries, salt, and pepper.
- Stir in 3 1/2 cups warm chicken stock.
- Transfer all ingredients to the greased baking dish. Drizzle with remaining 1/2 cup hot stock. Cover with aluminum foil and bake about 30 minutes, or until heated through. (Optional: For a crispier top, remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes.)
- Serve immediately.
