Preparation

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish, then place the bread slices onto baking sheets in a single layer.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, then turn the bread over and continue baking for about 15 minutes until golden brown on the other side, as well.

Remove and allow the bread to cool. Once cool, cut into ½-inch cubes.

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the sausage. Cook and stir until the sausage is crumbly no longer pink. Stir in the butter, onion, and celery.

Continue cooking for about 5 minutes until the onion has softened and turned translucent. Scrape the mixture into a large mixing bowl, and stir in the mushrooms, olives, garlic, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Stir in half of the bread cubes until evenly blended, then stir in the beaten egg with the remaining bread cubes. Pack into the prepared baking dish.

Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes, until crispy and golden brown on top.

Serve with turkey, and enjoy!
