These cornbread sausage stuffing bites are something to be grateful for. Made with meaty morsels of uncured, old fashioned kielbasa - your brood will be counting their blessings.
Ingredients
- 24 oz. North Country Smokehouse Uncured Old Fashioned Kielbasa, sliced into ¼“ thick pieces
- 3 TBSP butter
- 1 C onion, chopped
- 1 C celery, chopped
- 1 TBSP fresh sage, chopped
- ½ C dried cranberries
- 2 TBSP fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 C crumbled day-old cornbread
- 1 C turkey or chicken stock
- 2 large eggs
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Lightly oil 3 mini-muffin pans (36 muffins total).
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over moderate heat. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes.
- Add the chopped sausage and sage to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cranberries and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add the cornbread to the skillet and toss gently to combine.
- Whisk together the turkey stock and eggs in a bowl. Pour the egg mixture over the cornbread mixture and toss gently to combine.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups with one slice of kielbasa in each cup. Bake until stuffing is slightly puffed and golden brown on top, 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven. Let stuffing rest for 5 minutes before removing from the muffin pans and arranging on a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
