Very full flavored and a new family favorite since 2007. Last year this was the only stuffing I made. I use a thick cut bacon from the butcher instead of your traditional packaged bacon for less salt and a more mellow flavor.

Used half pancetta (Italian bacon) and half FJ as well used half breakfast sausage and half hot Italian links and only 2oz dried porcini otherwise followed recipe as instructed. This stuffing is full flavored and while I love bacon, thought it over powered the other ingredients a bit. Will definitely keep this in the repertoire but next time will increase the sausage to 1lb and decrease the bacon by half.

Porcini, Chestnut, and Sausage Stuffing

JOHN KERNICK
Recipe Summary
Yield: Makes about 9 cups
Ingredients
Ingredient Checklist
1 cup dried porcini mushrooms
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1/2 pound slab bacon, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
1 leek, white and pale-green parts only, rinsed well and finely chopped
3 celery stalks, finely chopped (1 1/2 cups)
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 pound sweet Italian sausages, casings removed
Liver from turkey, coarsely chopped
5 cups cubed, crustless white bread, dried overnight
2 cups coarsely chopped peeled chestnuts
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 1/2 cups Easy Giblet Stock
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Cook's Notes
If you forget to leave the bread on the counter overnight to dry, toast it in an oven heated to 200 degrees for 30 minutes. This recipe makes a generous amount of stuffing. If the entire batch doesn’t fit (loosely packed) inside the turkey, bake the leftovers in a separate dish.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried porcini mushrooms
- 1 1/2 cups boiling water
- 1/2 pound slab bacon, finely chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
- 1 leek, white and pale-green parts only, rinsed well and finely chopped
- 3 celery stalks, finely chopped (1 1/2 cups)
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3/4 pound sweet Italian sausages, casings removed
- Liver from turkey, coarsely chopped
- 5 cups cubed, crustless white bread, dried overnight
- 2 cups coarsely chopped peeled chestnuts
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 1/2 cups Easy Giblet Stock
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions
Combine porcini with boiling water, and let soak for about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until crisp, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate, reserving drippings in skillet. Add onion, leek, celery, and garlic to skillet, and cook until translucent and tender, about 10 minutes.
Drain porcini, reserving 1 cup soaking liquid. Coarsely chop porcini, and add to skillet. Cook for 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to plate with bacon.
Heat oil in same skillet. Add sausage, and cook, crumbling with a spoon, until browned, about 7 minutes. Add liver, and cook until browned, about 2 minutes. Add to bacon mixture. Let cool. (Mixture can be refrigerated overnight; bring to room temperature before using.)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine bacon mixture, bread, chestnuts, and thyme. Pour stock and reserved porcini soaking liquid over the top. Season with salt and pepper, and toss. Let stand for 10 minutes, allowing bread to soak up liquid.
Transfer stuffing to turkey cavity, and follow directions in Roasted Brined Turkey, being sure to cook stuffing until its temperature registers 165 degrees; place remaining stuffing in an 8-inch square baking dish, cover if desired, and bake until heated through, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
Cook's Notes
