## What is sausage stuffing?
This recipe creates crisp, craggy edges with a plush, savory center and browned sausage throughout.
## Why breakfast sausage?
Breakfast sausage provides rich flavor and drippings to cook onions, celery, and garlic with butter.
## Sausage alternatives?
Spicy breakfast sausage adds heat; ground dark-meat turkey can be used for a vegetarian version.
## Best bread for stuffing?
Sturdy country-style white bread or sourdough with thin crust absorbs broth without turning mushy.
## Can you make ahead?
Bread can be baked 1 day ahead; stuffing can be assembled 1 day ahead and chilled.
## Recipe steps
Preheat oven, bake bread, cook sausage, sauté vegetables, mix with broth and herbs, then bake until golden.
## Key takeaway

This sausage stuffing recipe uses country bread, breakfast sausage, and herbs for a flavorful Thanksgiving side dish.
