The Best Thanksgiving Stuffing Recipe (Chorizo Sage Stuffing)

This Chorizo Sage Stuffing recipe is the BEST Thanksgiving stuffing recipe. Your family will be going back for more of this delicious homemade stuffing with chorizo, sage, fresh apples, and mushrooms.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of Chorizo
  • 2 boxes of Sage Stuffing Mix
  • 3 Apples peeled and diced
  • 5 tablespoons of Butter
  • 1 large Onion
  • 8 ounces of Sliced Mushrooms
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1 cup Chicken Stock
  • about 12 Fresh Sage Leaves

Instructions

  1. First, cook the chorizo in a skillet over medium heat. I didn't add any oil or butter to the pan, the chorizo has enough fat in it. Cook the chorizo until it has all browned up, breaking the chorizo up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Then pour into a large bowl and set aside.
  2. Next, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in that same skillet. Dice the onion, add it to the skillet and let cook for 3 minutes. Then add the mushrooms, and season generously with salt and pepper. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, until the mushrooms have browned. Then add to the bowl with the chorizo.
  3. Pour the stuffing mix and apples into the bowl with the chorizo, onions, and mushrooms. Add the chicken broth, and stir to combine. Pour into a buttered casserole dish. Bake for 30-40 minutes at 350 degrees.
  4. Just before serving, melt the last tablespoon of butter in a skillet. Add the sage leaves and fry them until they have hardened. Top the stuffing with the fried sage leaves and serve.
