Thanksgiving and a stuffing recipe

Ever wonder what families with different cultures do on American holidays.  Yes my Persian family still has a Thanksgiving! How I love the food obviously I baked all the desserts for this feast but I did make on savory dish, I know what a surprise. 



I had made a chestnut and turkey sausage stuffing
Not going to lie it was amazing, I almost forgot to eat all the other sides

You can find the original recipe on Food Network 

My Version:
  • Celery, Carrots and Onion (I cheated on bought it all together, pre-chopped from Trader Joes since I used the whole container I used more veggies than the original recipe)
  • 1/2 bunch fresh sage
  • 1 1/2 pounds loose sweet Italian sausage
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 5 1/2 cups cubed sourdough bread (i left the half the crust on my bread, I bought two different loaves from two different grocery stores. This gave me two slightly different sourdough loves) 
  • 1 pound roasted chestnuts (I purchased pre-roasted and peeled from Costco!!! this recipe would be so hard without this short cut)
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
Try this stuffing at your next gathering!
