Sausage, Thyme & Mushroom Dressing

I was simply thinking well-nigh what I should brand this weekend for my Grandma's solid unit of measurement Thanksgiving, as well as I idea well-nigh this yummy Sausage Stuffing from concluding year... it mightiness brand a repeat appearance!

......

Last Dominicus nosotros got together for "Thanksgiving" amongst my Grandma's solid unit of measurement - extended family.  My Grandma came from a solid unit of measurement of 8 brothers as well as sisters.  Every twelvemonth they (along amongst their children, their children's children, as well as then on...) teach together for a solid unit of measurement reunion inward the church building basement for a potluck Thanksgiving dinner.  Now, it is a peachy fourth dimension for us to encounter our cousins as well as for our kids to play together.

Last twelvemonth I brought a chocolate meringue pie.  This year, I decided to become the savory road as well as lay a novel spin on traditional stuffing/dressing past times adding sausage.  I loved the extra spice as well as season it added.  Since turkey tin sometimes last a petty bland, this is the perfect agency to add together existent season to the Thanksgiving plate.

*Note, this photograph was pre-baking.  We had to mad-dash out the door equally before long equally it was done, then I forgot to induce got a picture.  The halt upshot was nicely browned on travel on as well as moist inside.
