Vegan Sausage Stuffing
Make this easy vegan sausage stuffing recipe! Packed with savory flavors, fresh herbs, and plant-based sausage, perfect for any holiday.
Ingredients
- 8 cups stale bread cubes sourdough or crusty bread
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 celery stalks diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 8 ounces vegan sausage diced or crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- If you’re baking your cornbread, let it cool completely before crumbling. Day-old cornbread works best. Crumble into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the vegan butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until tender and aromatic.
- Stir in the fresh sage, thyme, and parsley. Cook for an additional minute, allowing the herbs to release their aroma.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, mix the crumbled cornbread with the sautéed vegetables. Gradually pour in the vegetable broth while gently tossing the mixture to ensure even absorption. The texture should be moist but not soggy.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the stuffing mixture into a greased baking dish and smooth it out evenly. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes to cool. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!

- Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free bread for a celiac-friendly version.
