Vegan Sausage and Mushroom Stuffing

November 6, 2017 By Carrots and Flowers

AMAZING Vegan Stuffing with Sausage + Mushrooms | Traditional Dressing Recipe with toasted pecans and dried cherries. Simple ingredients + SO flavorful | Vegan Thanksgiving

Helloooooooooo, Thanksgiving.

My favorite food holiday just got a little brighter with this kickass vegan sausage and mushroom stuffing! I typically love all things bread and carb related, but this vegan stuffing is extra special.

I’m a big fan of sweet and savory things, so to liven up the flavors in this unbelievable vegan stuffing I tossed in some chopped dried cherries. Who says cranberries get to have all the fun?

The perfect vegan stuffing always starts with the bread. For this vegan sausage and mushroom stuffing, I chose a hearty, rustic cranberry walnut loaf but this recipe will work well with any bread, especially sourdough or a vegan brioche.

Is it just me or are mushrooms and nuts the best combination ever? I love toasted pecans in this recipe! They add the perfect bit of crunch and remind me so much of warm, cozy Autumn nights. This vegan stuffing is everything I love about Fall in one bite! It is:

Hearty

Rustic

Toasty

Just a bit sweet

Savory

Moist

Crunchy

Nutty

Perfect way to soak up Vegan Mushroom Gravy!

If you’re not into the sweet/savory combo, mix things up! Use a vegan Italian sausage in place of the apple sage sausage, swap the dried cherries for sun dried tomato, and the pecans for walnuts! Sprinkle in some oregano and you’ll have an insanely delicious savory Italian stuffing!

How delicious does this vegan stuffing look on this plate of vegan magic? There is something about a giant ass plate of entirely plant-based food that just makes me so unbelievably happy. Who’s with me?!

    Vegan Sausage & Mushroom Stuffing:
    There were no pecans in the list of ingredients. Even though the picture shows the pecans- I didn’t have the picture, just my shopping list.
    There is no way I’m headed to the grocery store the night before Thanksgiving. Total bummer.

      Hi Elizabeth,
      I am so sorry about my mistake! Life with a newborn as been hectic and my attention to detail has suffered as a result. I’m so disappointed that my error has made your Thanksgiving meal less than perfect. Pleade accept my sincere apologies! The stuffing will still be delicious without the pecans, there are many other flavor and texture elements in the dish. Again, so very sorry. I will be more careful with copy editing moving forward.
      All the best,
      Megan

    The recipe doesn’t list how many pecans to use. What’s the amount?

      Hi Heidi,
      I’m so sorry for the inconvenience! I’ve been unable to correct the recipe, as I’m traveling away from my laptop for the weekend. The stuffing recipe should include 1 cup of roughly chopped roasted pecans. I hope it’s not too much trouble for you to get or add them!
      Happy Thanksgiving!
