"This moist hearty stuffing is nicely seasoned with sausage, sage and fresh mushrooms," writes field editor Betty Sitzman from Wray, Colorado. "Sometimes I use it to stuff the bird...and other times I bake it separately."

Ingredients

1/2 pound bulk pork sausage
1 medium onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
2 teaspoons canola oil
6 cups cubed day-old bread
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 cup egg substitute
2 teaspoons rubbed sage
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, onion, celery and mushrooms in oil until meat is no longer pink; drain if necessary. In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; add sausage mixture and toss to coat.
Transfer to a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until lightly browned.
