Pretzel and Sausage Stuffing

Recipe Description

Pretzel and Sausage Stuffing is a good way to shake up the traditional turkey roast dinner this year. I always try to put a unique twist on our Thanksgiving meal and this was last year’s attempt. It went down really well with my guests and I know it will with yours too!  

I start by toasting the pretzel chunks in the oven. Then I sauté some veggies and mix these with the pretzel chunks in a large bowl. Next I fry some sausage in a pan and add that to the pretzel mixture. I make an eggy broth which binds the stuffing together before cooking it in the oven for 45 minutes. 

To make Pretzel and Sausage Stuffing, you will need the following ingredients:
