Mushroom, Toasted Fennel and Sausage Stuffing

My dad is always in charge of the Turkey and while he does like to play around with spices and brining techniques the day of Thanksgiving, the turkey always comes out perfectly. My mom and I are normally in charge of the side dishes, my husband will make the sweet potatoes, my brother’s fiancee will bring a pumpkin pie from her dad, and my brother will show up in time to eat. 🙂 haha. 

One of the dishes that I promised myself that I would “amp up” last year was our stuffing. I love stuffing but I always feel like it’s lacking something. It’s just kind of “normal’. I wanted something a little more extraordinary this year. 

So this year I’m working with Jones Dairy Farm to bring you a new stuffing recipe that will be gracing our Thanksgiving table this year. I tried out a few ideas and in the end we ended up with a Mushroom, Toasted Fennel and Sausage Stuffing.  

 I was a little cautious with the fennel at first because I didn’t want to have a super strong licorice flavor and the first few times that I worked on this recipe that’s exactly what I got. However, after a few more tries I got it right and we had the perfect flavor combination for an epic stuffing. 

This stuffing is full of Sausage, garlic and mushrooms with just enough toasted fennel and saffron to really bring it over the top with an amazing, savory flavor. 

 What dishes are gracing your table this Thanksgiving? Do you already have your menu planned out or are you going to wait until the last minute? Whichever way you roll, make sure you add this Mushroom, Toasted Fennel and Sausage Stuffing to your Menu plan!

I’m so glad that Jones Dairy Farm reached out to me to work with them on this stuffing recipe. Jones Dairy Farms started back in 1889 by Milo Jones when he started a business with the idea of sharing his mother’s homemade breakfast sausage recipe and they’ve been sharing ever since! If you want to learn even more about Jones Dairy Farm there is an awesome video on their website that tells you all about the history of the company and the family. 

Their family recipe for breakfast sausage is the same recipe from the 1800s. You know the farmhouse on the package? 

That’s the family farm house! How cool is that? Y’all know that the history nerd is me is loving that. How awesome would it be to visit there!
