Mushroom sausage stuffing

This started out as Suzanne
Somers mushroom sausage stuffing and made 6 cups.

But looking at all the notes on this recipe, I barely do half the stuff she said to do or use all the ingredients. So it is almost as much PearlyMae stuffing as it is SS

I’ve put what I do in (parentheses)

4 onions sliced (2)

2 to 4 tablespoons olive oil

4 cups coarsely chopped shiitake and oyster mushrooms or regular white button mushrooms. (2 pkgs of sliced)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup dry white wine (skip)

2 tablespoons Butter (I’ve done with 1/4 c chix broth, instead. Have also used more butter.)

2 pound spicy turkey sausage meat removed from casing ( Slice into coins if using casing style sausages, but I’ve used Jimmy Dean bulk sausage — either turkey or original— and just made sure it was in crumbles and rinsed because it is super greasy. Make it bite-sized to match the mushrooms.)

One bunch fresh tarragon leaves

(I don’t care for tarragon, so I use traditional stuffing spices which can include the whole song: parsley, sage, rosemary, & thyme, or a little marjoram, a touch of nutmeg and black pepper, and even oregano. Or— “poultry seasoning” which is most of the above.

Sauté the onions and then add the mushrooms and
Sauté them both over med high heat til caramelized. ( who has time for that? I let them both simmer in water or chix broth til softened and THEN saute. ) until mushrooms are crisp on the edges.

Add the wine and cook it off on high (I’ve never bothered w this step) then let simmer another 10 minutes. Stir in butter and set aside.

In another skillet, brown the sausage til Cooked thru (And rinse or pour off excess grease if using pork sausage— )add spices and mix in mushrooms and serve hot.

Most recipes are vague on the measurements on the spices. The only one I could find was “1 1/2 T of Poultry Seasoning” so just go easy. Start with a little in the palm of your hand (around a Tsp) for each and add more to taste, then allow time for it to simmer in.

When served with Thanksgiving traditional bread stuffing, I’ve noticed a lot of people take a nice spoonful of each, and put gravy on it! So it is definitely something for everyone, and especially for you!

Ps: I expected to be back up today after that big loss yesterday, but I’m only up .2! I was worried I would be back up to 2.6 out of 2.8, lol.

Sam! Step away from the pumpkin pie! LOL.

Some of the veggies you list are ones that EVERYONE gets a bit bloated from. I mean, not people on diets or with any sensitivities, just regular eating. Cauliflower and Brussel sprouts can clear a room. So can broccoli and when older folks are served cabbage they wonder if someone is trying to kill them! Cucumbers can also fall into that category. No, that doesn't mean you can't eat them, I'm just saying it is not as unusual as it feels. You are eating them cooked, which helps, but am thinking maybe getting some good probiotics in your system will even things out, as you are reacting to more than you are used to. Not pills, not expensive stuff, just some good plain Greek yogurt to start your day may help you out. Oh wait, dairy is doing a number on you. So not yogurt, but maybe check out · Kombucha · Kefir · Kimchi · Miso. etc. IDK, you may have to google something until you find what you like.

I know very little about probiotics, so hopefully someone else will chime in, but I'm thinking that most of us have experienced food sensitivities that we have not had before after a round of P2. Even those of us with many rounds under our belts have had weird reactions to things we thought were ok. But, after a while, they seem to calm down. I had a bout of dairy sensitivity a few years back. Without cheese and hwc, I consider life barely worth living. But eventually, I was able to add back all dairy with no further concerns. I was reacting to almond after a round, and I just quit eating them for a few weeks and then I was fine ever after.

I notice that I woooped way up after having some potatoes. I've had a small serving of potatoes at special dinners on occasion with no problem, and just avoid them as a daily thing, so did not think they were any big deal. I thought they were just something with more carbs than I want on a regular basis. But UP 4 pounds in a week after eating them gets your attention.

You can do an online doctor, Teledoc, google it. Not expensive and you don't have to go anywhere. They may be able to think of something.

Meanwhile, you found the right recipe. Did you do the white wine / tarragon / sausage in a casing way? LOL. I skip the 'fancy stuff."

Hi all!
Yummy recipes! I will be making mini keto pumpkin pies in ramekins.
@samslice, Sorry you're so discouraged with this P3! I know the feeling all too well. You might want to check out this info Grammy posted years ago to deal with your coconut oil sensitivity:

It helped me with almonds years ago.
