- or 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 stick butter
- 1 pound sage sausage, casing
- removed
- 1 pound hot sausage, casing

- ounce can of artichoke

- chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme,
- chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro,
- chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage,

- Stuffing Cubes
- 5 large eggs, beaten
- Salt and Pepper
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese,
- divided
- 3 1/4 cups diet gingerale or

- stock
- In a large, heavy skillet, melt 1 stick butter on medium heat. Add the sage and hot sausage and cook on high until well browned and crumbly, breaking apart with a spoon or spatula, about 8-10 minutes. Drain liquid. Add the chopped onion/celery/apple mixture and chopped garlic and saute on medium heat until celery is soft about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Mix in artichokes, mint, thyme, cilantro, sage and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper (I use Kosher salt) to taste. DO NOT DRAIN LIQUID
- In a 13x20 disposable aluminum foil pan, add 1/3 of stuffing cubes, moisten with 3/4 cup gingerale and chicken broth or stock (more if you like a really moist stuffing) and mix well. Add 1/3 of beaten eggs, 1/3 sausage mixture and 1/3 cheese and mix well. Repeat this procedure 2 more times. (I like to season with salt and pepper with each addition so it's easier to blend).
- Cover and bake at 325 degrees for about an hour or until heated through. Enjoy!
