If you've never made this stuffing with chestnuts, give it a try. Here, their sweetness contrasts with the savory sausage. You can also use the fresh chestnuts, if you prefer. Ingredients:
1 cup coarsely chopped bottled chestnuts |
1 (16-ounce) loaf french bread, cut into 1-inch cubes |
6 ounces mild pork sausage |
3 cups chopped onion |
2 cups chopped celery |
1 1/2 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth |
1 tablespoon dried rubbed sage |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Arrange chopped chestnuts and bread cubes in a single layer on a jelly roll pan. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
3. Cook sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 4 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Add onion and celery; sauté 6 minutes or until tender. Add broth, scraping pan to loosen browned bits.
4. Combine bread mixture, sausage mixture, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper, tossing to combine. Spoon into a 13 x 9-inch baking pan coated with cooking spray; cover with foil. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown.
