- 8 to 10 servings
- 2 cups game sausage, casings removed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely diced
- 1 1/2 cups celery, finely diced
- 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, minced
- pinch ground sage
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups cornbread croutons
- 2 1/2 to 3 cups chicken broth
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and brown evenly while stirring to break into small pieces. Add onion, celery, jalapeno pepper, rosemary, sage, Kosher salt and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes.
2. Transfer contents of skillet to a large bowl. Add croutons and chicken broth and mix well. Let rest until chicken broth is absorbed.
