Holiday Dressing Patties Recipe

3 tablespoons butter
¼ cup bulk pork sausage
¼ cup minced onion
½ cup finely chopped celery
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
½ cup chicken or turkey broth
1 to 1½ teaspoons poultry seasoning
1/8 teaspoon celery salt
10 slices white bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking up large pieces with a spoon.
2. Add the onion, celery, salt, and pepper and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the broth, poultry seasoning, and celery salt. Remove from the heat.
3. Place the bread cubes in a large bowl. Pour the sausage mixture over the bread; mix well. Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes. Shape the mixture into 8 patties about 3 ½ inches in diameter.
4. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet over medium heat. When bubbly, add the patties, in batches if necessary, and cook until golden, about 2 minutes on each side.
Serves 4.
