In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbly, about 7–8 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.
1 pound Sage Ground Pork Sausage
Add the celery, onion, mushrooms, and garlic to the skillet with the sausage. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
2 celery stalks, 1 white onion, 1 cup Portobello Mushrooms, 2 garlic cloves, ½ teaspoon Kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
In a large mixing bowl, add the stuffing cubes. Pour in the sausage and vegetable mixture, stirring to combine.
14 ounces Cubed Herbed Seasoned Stuffing Mix
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring, until the bread is evenly moistened but not soggy. You may not need all 2 cups depending on the stuffing mix used.
2 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Stock
Stir in the lightly beaten egg until fully incorporated. This helps bind the stuffing.
2 eggs
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Transfer the stuffing mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crisp.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm alongside turkey, chicken, or your favorite holiday roast.

Don’t over-soak: Add broth gradually; you want the cubed bread moist but not soggy.
Add extra herbs: Rosemary, thyme, or parsley can be added alongside sage for even more flavor.
Bake covered, then uncovered: Cover with foil for the first half of baking to lock in moisture, then uncover to let the top crisp up beautifully.
