Out of the three vegan stuffings I made in the recipe below, this traditional bread and sausage stuffing is most similar to what you might remember eating as a kid! It’s got those soft but crunchy bread cubes and lots of seasonal flavors. I also threw in vegan sausage bits so any omnis at the table get that meaty component they love!

This recipe is full of gluten, so if you want a gluten-free option check out my video for vegan stuffing 3 ways for a couple of other versions. Or you can use another brand of vegan sausage that’s gluten-free friendly.

Be sure to whip up the best vegan gravy to go along with your stuffing!

traditional bread and sausage stuffing

There’s no turkey required to make this traditional holiday stuffing with vegan sausage and bread, and I guarantee you’ll still be stuffed!

Ingredients

for the base

1 tbsp olive oil1 C finely chopped leek3/4 C finely chopped celery1 finely chopped shallot2 garlic cloves, minced1 tbsp finely chopped sage1 tsp finely chopped rosemary1/2 tsp nutmeg1/4 tsp sea salt1/4 tsp ground black pepper1/2 C low-sodium vegetable stock1/2 C dried cranberries1/3 C finely chopped parsley

sausage & bread stuffing

3 vegan apple sage sausages (or your choice of flavor)4 C cubed multigrain bread2 tbsp olive oil1 tsp fresh thyme1/4 tsp sea salt1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

Chop up the vegan sausages into small pieces and toss with bread in olive oil, thyme, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Bake on a baking sheet for 20 minutes in an oven preheated to 400°F. Flip and toss half way through baking time.This makes the bread crunchy which I like. If you want soft bread, you could cook the sausage in the pan with the base ingredients (see below for instructions) and add in the cubed bread near the end along with the parsley and cranberries so it can absorb some of the liquid in the pan.If you’re baking the sausage and bread, while that’s baking you can heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté leek, celery, and shallots for 4 minutes until soft. Add in garlic, sage, rosemary, nutmeg, sea salt, and ground black pepper, and cook for 2 minutes. You may need to reduce the heat to medium-low so you don’t burn the garlic.Add in low-sodium vegetable stock and simmer, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes. Add in dried cranberries and parsley, and cook for another 2 minutes. Mix this into the bread and sausage component right out of the oven and serve warm.You can also prepare the stuffing in advance of your dinner and reheat it in the oven covered in foil prior to serving.
