Ingredients

1 pound sourdough bread cut into 1 inch cubes
16 ounces breakfast roll sausage
5 slices thick cut bacon diced
3 celery ribs diced
2 shallots minced
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups tuscan kale finely chopped
2-1/2 cups chicken stock

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place cubed bread on a large baking sheet and cook 10-12 minutes, until bread is dry and toasted. Set aside.
In a high-sided 12-inch skillet set over medium heat add sausage and bacon. Cook until the bacon is slightly crisp and the sausage is no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Make sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks.
Add celery, shallots, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Cook until celery and shallots are soft, about 5 minutes.
Add kale and cook just until kale starts to soften about 2 minutes.
Pour in 2 cups chicken stock and scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
Remove the pan from the stove and stir in the bread until the bread is moist.
Add additional stock, if needed, to reach the desired moisture level in the stuffing.
Pour mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cover stuffing with foil or a lid and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil cover and bake for 30 minutes more or until the top of the stuffing is crispy and golden brown.

Notes

You can use 12-16 ounces of breakfast roll sausage for this recipe.
Breakfast roll sausage is the type of sausage sold in a roll form in a plastic package. You typically find this near the meat section near the breakfast meats such as bacon.
Curly kale can be used in place of Tuscan kale but it should be finely chopped and it's more tough than Tuscan kale.
