Sweet Italian Sausage Stuffing

Stuffing is my favorite Thanksgiving dish and now I think I've finally perfected my favorite Thanksgiving stuffing recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

1 stick butter
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
1lb or 4 links of sweet italian sausage (casings removed)
1 package Pepperidge farm sage and onion stuffing cubes (12oz)
2-3 cups fat free, reduced sodium chicken broth

DIRECTIONS:

1.  In large skillet, melt butter over medium high heat.
2.  Saute celery and onions until soft.
3.  Add in sausage and cook throughly (like you would ground beef)
4.  Add in stuffing and mix thoroughly.
5.  Add in chicken broth until you get the moistness you desire (about 2 cups).
6.  Cook until evenly heated through.

This recipe can be made ahead of time and either stuffed in the bird or put in a 9x13 glass baking dish.  To reheat stuffing on the day of dinner,  bake at 400 covered with foil for 20 minutes.  After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes until heated through and golden brown on top.

Makes at least 12 servings.
