Sourdough, Sausage and Blueberry Dressing

recipe-img

Description

I was looking in my pantry for raisins to make a dressing just like my mom's, but I was out. Then I spied a bag of dried blueberries and thought, 'why not?' Michigan is known for its blueberries, second only to cherries, so this is a nod to my home state.

Ingredient:

  • 1 cup dried blueberries
  • 1/2 cup blueberry schnapps liqueur
  • 6 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 5 teaspoons minced garlic, divided
  • 1 loaf (14-1/2 ounces) sourdough bread, torn into 1/2-in. pieces
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or canola oil
  • 3 celery ribs, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and grated
  • 2 pounds bulk pork sausage
  • 1 package (7 ounces) blueberry white cheddar cheese or sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2-1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • Optional: Fresh blueberries and fresh sage
