Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Prepare the Gravy: Melt unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the sweet Italian turkey sausage, breaking it apart as it browns, about 5 minutes. Whisk in all-purpose flour until combined, then pour in cold milk, stirring continuously. Season with salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper, and let simmer until thickened, 5-7 minutes. Chill in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease the muffin tin.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt more unsalted butter over medium heat. Add diced celery and onion, sautéing for about 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Combine the Stuffing Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, mix sautéed vegetables with chicken broth, dry bread cubes, chopped fresh parsley, minced sage, thyme, and eggs until well incorporated.
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Grease each muffin cup with melted butter and spoon in the stuffing mixture halfway, creating a well for the gravy.
- Add Gravy to Muffins: Spoon the chilled gravy into the wells, being careful not to overfill.
- Seal the Muffins: Mold the stuffing around the gravy to seal it inside.
- Bake the Muffins: Bake for about 25-30 minutes until tops are golden brown and edges are crisp.
- Cool and Remove: Let cool for about 5 minutes then gently remove muffins from the tin.
