4 stalks celery, sliced
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/4 cup butter
8 ounces chicken livers
turkey giblets
turkey neck bone
4-5 cups water

In large pan (dutch oven) brown sausage, scrambling while browning until sausage is in small pieces.

We loved it! I made this for a pre-Christmas get together and it was a big hit. Based on personal preference I made two minor adjustments. I didn't boil & simmer the sausage after I browned it. I removed it from the pan kept it to the side. I added it to the stock before combining it with the cubed stuffing mix. I added the livers and giblets to the stock but I didn’t chop them up and add them to the stuffing. I stuffed the turkey and there was plenty left over to cook separately. We preferred the stuffing that was cooked separately because it got nice and crispy on top. But the stuffing in the bird was good too. I will definitely make this stuffing again.

No one at the table was impressed, but it wasn't terrible either. I wouldn't make it again.

Fantastic!! That's the only word I can think of that describes this recipe...Have never before used sausage in dressing, but, sure will from now on! I mixed half and half...Buddah's Breakfast Sausage and Italian Sausage...Didn't have giblets or neck from the bird...DIL used them in the gravy...DS smoked the bird!! Didn't hurt a thing...I did add a few mushrooms to the mix, just because! Absolutely the best stuffing we've ever had! My compliments to your dad, Terri...He most certainly does make the BEST stuffing!! Thanks so much for sharing...We really enjoyed! Laudee

I have been trying for several years now to duplicate my own dad's Thanksgiving sausage stuffing. He passed away before I had a chance to make him write it all down. Each year, I've found a recipe that sounded close, tried it, and they just didn't quite make the grade. Well Terri...this is the one! The only adjustment I made was to add two beaten eggs, because I remember my dad's stuffing as having some sort of binder. I used the giblets and livers for the stock, but did not chop and add them to the stuffing. I did not stuff the bird, but put the stuffing in a large casserole (makes plenty!), and baked for about an hour. Crispy on the top, moist throughout...this was just delicious and something I've been craving for a long time. I can't thank you enough!
