Sweet Pepper and Andouille Sausage Stuffing
Ingredients
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 2 tbs unsalted butter
- 2 cup green bell peppers, chopped
- 2 cup celery, chopped
- 4 cup onions, chopped
- 1 1/4 pound Andouille smoked sausage or any smoked sausage, like kielbasa
- 4 tbs Unsalted butter
- 2 tbs Garlic, finely diced
- 2 tbs Tabasco hot sauce
- 1 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup mild sweet peppers, coarsely diced
Instructions
Melt olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium to high heat. Add green bell peppers, celery, and onions, and cook until light brown (10 minutes). Add andouille smoked sausage and cook until meat is browned, stirring often (5 minutes). Stir in butter, garlic, and Tabasco hot sauce. Reduce heat and add chicken stock, bringing it to a simmer (10 minutes). Stir in bread crumbs and remove from heat. Stir in sweet peppers. Stuff loosely in turkey cavity. Remember to add to overall cooking time when you stuff a turkey. Option: Instead of using this recipe as a stuffing, put the mixture into an ungreased 8X8 baking dish. Bake uncovered at 425 for 45 minutes, until top is browned. This recipe makes enough to stuff a 10 - 12 lb. Turkey.
