Instant Pot Sausage Stuffing
Instant Pot Sausage Stuffing

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE stuffing! Hopefully, by now you’ve learned that cooking your turkey stuffed with this stuff is a big NO, NO! You run the risk of contamination from the raw turkey in your stuffing, so now if I cook a turkey whole instead of a Spatchcocked Turkey , then I fill the cavity with aromatics (like cinnamon, apples, onions & herbs) to help flavor the bird.

Even though we don’t stuff our bird, we’d still like to have stuffing as a side, it’s just not Thanksgiving without it! So, enter the yummiest stuffing ever! I cooked it in the Instant Pot, but you can totally follow these instructions and cook on the stove top if you’d like!

Instant Pot Sausage Stuffing TIPS

  • Feel free to add or subtract any of the veggies or proteins, or even add your own ideas if you’d like! We love Chicken Apple Sausages at our house and love the added flavor and texture they add to this dish!
  • Make sure to scrape off ALL the brown bits on the bottom of the instant pot before sealing and pressure cooking or you will get a burn warning
  • Allow the pot to cool down a bit before sealing, and pressure cooking or you will get a burn warning

Non Instant pot  Sausage Stuffing Instructions

  1. Heat Olive oil in large skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over med-high heat.
  2. Add chopped onions, carrots & celery and a little bit of salt. Cook for 2-3 min.
  3. Add sliced mushrooms, garlic & fresh herbs, cook 2-3 mins.
  4. Push veggies to the sides, creating space to add Sage Sausage and brown.
  5. Add Chicken apple sausages. Cook 2-3 minutes
  6. Add Chicken Broth (you will need about 3 cups of broth instead of 1.5 cups) & stir, cook 2-3 min
  7. Turn heat off, add stuffing cubes & stir. Cover for a few minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 325. Loosely pack Stuffing in a buttered Casserole dish and top with Fried onions. Bake until crispy 20-40 minutes.

Instant Pot Sausage Stuffing

This stuffing has such a depth of flavor that is only this intense because it is cooked in the instant pot.  The pressure cooking enhances all the flavors like it was cooked for hours! Doesn’t take up a pot on the stove either!

Instructions

  • Turn instant pot onto to Saute mode. Add Olive Oil and saute onions, celery & carrots.  Cook for 3 minutes. Add fresh herbs and cook another 2 minutes.
  • Make space for sage sausage, brown sausage. Add mushrooms and diced chicken sausage links. Add Salt & Pepper, stir to combine.
  • Add stuffing mix, stir.  
  • Add chicken broth and stir.  Make sure to scrap the bottom of the pot to deglaze the pot.  Turn off Saute mode, allow the pot to cool slightly. Then cover and seal your instant pot.  Set to high pressure and 12 minutes.
  • Let instant pot release naturally, remove lid and fluff.  If you like a more wet stuffing, stop here and dish into a serving dish, top with fried crispy onions.
  • If you want to dry your stuffing out, place in casserole dish, top with crispy onions and bake at 350 degrees for 10 min, serve.

Notes

*When scrapping the bottom of the pot, make sure to get all browned bits off of the bottom, otherwise, you’ll get a burn warning during pressure cooking stage.  Also, allow the pot to cool down before moving to the pressure cooking stage.

Snagged almost every single treat at the @janjoupa Snagged almost every single treat at the @janjoupatisserie in house this weekend! We devoured the Spinach Quiche (the best quiche I’ve ever had... and I’m typically not a quiche person), before I thought to take photos. We also forgot to take photos of all the croissants 🥐 and other breakfast pastries 🤦🏼‍♀️ we got! Anyway, if you are ever in and around Boise, you NEED to stop here and snag everything! This tiny little place has TWO James Beard Awards for Outstanding Baker... and they whole heartedly deserve them. They deserve all of them. This place beats out the NYC and Paris bakeries I’ve been to. I’m already craving the quiche again and all the delicious treats! #goodeats #boisefood #foodie #pastries #janjoupatisserie #nomnom #boiseidaho

It is soup week in our house! I have my go to chi It is soup week in our house! I have my go to  chicken tortilla soup recipe but I thought I’d test out @lillieeatsandtells from her “One” book. I love how she uses salsa verde in her base! I happened to have my homemade smoked salsa verde that I canned this summer so I was excited to find more uses for it! We love to swap non-fat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream to save on fat and give us an extra protein boost! My kiddos loved it too! They used corn tortilla chips to dip in it, my 6 year old LOVES to crunch up a bunch of tortilla chips and mix it in his soup. Tonight’s dinner was a win!

I have soups on our menu ALL WEEK with the storm w I have soups on our menu ALL WEEK with the storm we have now and what will continue. This Lemon Chicken soup is the perfect soup for a chilly snowy day. Packed with delicious chicken, homemade broth, a mild zing and brightness from the lemon, and i feel all cozy inside. I adapted this recipe from @lillieeatsandtells One cookbook! I just swapped the rotisserie chicken for chicken thighs that i cooked bone in and skin on in my instant pot. Deboned, shredded and then followed the rest of her recipe, but i added extra lemon juice, extra chicken base (instead of bullion). Super delicious! Check out her recipe on her blog OR buy her books, they are WORTH IT! #chickensoup #lemonchickensoup #lillieseatsandtells #soupweather
Asian Noodle Salad (La Bou Copy Cat) P54.5 C51.8 F Asian Noodle Salad
(La Bou Copy Cat)
P54.5 C51.8 F9.9 CAL518
One of my favorite places to go to eat when I’m home in Northern California is La Bou. They have a ton of different salads, soups and sandwiches to enjoy and i always have to go a couple times to be able to get all my favorite menu items. One of those it their Asian Noodle Salad. It doesn’t typically come with chicken but i added that to it to complete the meal. I have no clue if this is close to their recipe but to me it tastes close to it! If you have room in your macros/ calories, add some chopped peanuts when you enjoy! This should be enjoyed COLD, i don’t know if it would be as good if it’s warm. 
* 8 Oz soba noodles (buckwheat, uncooked)
* 1 cup broccoli (cut bite size)
* 1/2 cup sugar snap peas (cut in thirds)
* 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced 
* 3 green onions, diced
* 1/4 cup cilantro
* 20 Oz cooked boneless skinless chicken breast
Dressing:
* 1/4 cup liquid aminos (or soy sauce)
* 2 Tb rice vinegar
* 2 Tb Mirin
* 1 Tb sesame oil
* 1 Tsp minced ginger
* 1 tsp minced garlic 
* 1 tsp siracha 

1. Bring a large pot of water to boil (no salt). Add the noodles and cook according to the package instructions.
2. Drain and rinse with cold water.
3. Boil more water and salt the water this time. Add broccoli and sugar snap peas. Cook for 2 min and remove to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. 
4. Blend the dressing ingredients together. Then toss half the dressing with the noodles and the other half with the green veggies.
5. Assemble your bowls. Weigh the dressed noodles and divide by 4. Then put that amount in each bowl. Do the same with the green veggies.
6. Divide out the red bell peppers amount the bowls, and 5oz of chicken per bowl. Then too with green onions and cilantro. 

Let me know if you end up making this! We love it! If you don’t like a little heat, then omit the siracha, but it’s only mildly spicy. #ifitfitsyourmacros #ihmloveyourbody @iheartmacros @lilmissmittsgetsfit
