We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Heat oil in large skillet on medium. Sauté pancetta for 2 minutes.

  • Step 2: Add onion and celery and cook until translucent. Add garlic and cook another 3 minutes.

  • Step 3: Mix together breads and 3/4 cup toasted pine nuts in a large mixing bowl. Add cheeses and cooked sausage to the breads. Mix together with the dried seasonings.

  • Step 4: Add sautéed veggies with any pan drippings.

  • Step 5: Slowly add broth and stir until mixed thoroughly. The consistency should not be soupy, but very moist. If not, add more broth.

  • Step 6: Test for saltiness and add a dash more if needed.

  • Step 7: Place in an extra deep 9-inch-by-13-inch greased pan.

  • Step 8: Dot the top with the cubed butter and cover with foil. Bake at 375° for 45 minutes.

  • Step 9: Remove foil and bake another 15 minutes or until slightly crusted on the edges.

  • Step 10: Top with remaining toasted pine nuts and chopped fresh sage. Add shaved cheese just before serving.

  • NOTE: We've enjoyed this stuffing (aka: dressing) both stuffed inside the turkey and baked separately as instructed in the method above.

We hope you enjoy this recipe!
