The holidays are the time of year to break out the special dishes that you only eat once or twice a year. Big family holiday dinners wouldn’t be complete without some sort of stuffing. This recipe does not follow the traditional stuffing method of cooking inside of the turkey. This wild game sausage recipe packs tons of flavor, and lets you make it as moist or as dry as you want!

Using mostly store bought stuff to cut down on prep time, this recipe is easy, makes enough for everyone, and will be the talk of the table! The aromatic veggies here add that traditional smell you get at family meals, while the sausage is there the flavor comes from. Adding the seasoning helps up the flavor as well as adding the stock. Because who wants just water when you can have stock?! The spices from the Harvesting Nature Big Game Blend help marry the sausage and the bread cubes while upping the flavor even more! For even more added flavor, homemade stocks work best. This recipe works with really any sausage, wild game or store bought, even spicy ones for you heat lovers! Give it a shot at your next family get together!
