Description

This Vegan Sausage Stuffing with Sage is a flavorful, plant-based alternative to traditional holiday stuffing. Featuring rustic bread cubes toasted to perfection, savory vegan sausage, fresh herbs, and a touch of garlic, this side dish combines comforting textures and vibrant tastes. Perfect for Thanksgiving or any festive gathering, it’s entirely vegan, dairy-free, and easy to make ahead.

Ingredients

Bread and Broth

  • 1 loaf (about 14 oz) day-old rustic or sourdough bread, cubed (about 8 cups)
  • 1 1/2–2 cups vegetable broth

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Vegan Sausage and Seasonings

  • 1 (14 oz) package vegan sausage, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Finishing Touches

  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter or olive oil (melted, for drizzling)
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread Cubes: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the bread cubes evenly on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes until they are lightly crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, sautéing for 5 to 6 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute to release its aroma.
  3. Cook Vegan Sausage: Add the crumbled vegan sausage to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned evenly. Stir in fresh sage, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to combine the flavors.
  4. Combine Stuffing Mixture: Transfer the toasted bread cubes into a large mixing bowl. Add the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture. Gradually pour in the vegetable broth while tossing gently, ensuring the bread is evenly moistened without becoming soggy. You may not need the full amount of broth.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and transfer the stuffing mixture into it. Drizzle the melted vegan butter or olive oil evenly over the top. Cover the dish tightly with foil to retain moisture during baking.
  6. Bake the Stuffing: Bake covered for 25 minutes in the preheated oven. Then remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the top turns golden brown and crispy.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Optional – sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a pop of color and freshness. Serve warm as a delicious vegan side dish perfect for holiday meals or everyday dinners.

Notes

  • This stuffing can be prepared a day in advance. Refrigerate before baking and add a splash of broth before reheating to keep it moist.
  • Use your preferred vegan sausage variety—mild or spicy versions both work wonderfully.
