Here's the recipe for the( in-the-bird stuffing) Sausage and Chestnut Stuffing. I don't have exact measurements for seasonings and vegetables. I do it to taste.

1 bag Herb stuffing(I use Pepperidge farm - CUBED) I use CUBED and not crushed so it keeps it shape and doesn't get mushy.

1/2 package Park's pork ground sausage(not hot)

1 5.2 ounce bag roasted and peeled chestnuts, rough chop them(you can buy fresh chestnuts and boil and peel them but it's more work and the bag ones work fine)

onions, peppers, celery, chopped( about 1/4 cup of each, not sure) I use about 1/2 an onion, 1/4 of green pepper and 1 small stalk celery

pepper, oregano, Bell's Seasoning

1 stick softened butter

chicken broth or water from cooked giblets

 Brown sausage( I brown it lightly first and then put it in food processor because I don't like it to be in big chunks, I like it to be the consistency of hamburger, if you put it in the food processor before lightly browning, it makes mush. Then I add it back to pan to finish browning)

Add butter

Next add the onions, peppers and celery( cook  about 2 -3 minutes)

Add pepper, oregano and Bell's seasoning, mix well

Add chestnuts and bread cubes, mix well

Add just enough of liquid to moistened stuffing, don't make it wet as it will get more moisture from turkey. I don't add salt because it also gets salt from turkey.

Hope you enjoy it if you decide to make it!
