I make this every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas and there are never any leftovers. It's amazing. I'm going to try it with turkey sausage this year.

I've made this recipe for years but just a little different. I sauted green onion and celery in a cube of butter and added that to the sausage. Great taste.
