Sausage for turkey stuffing

[squirrelly_wrath]

I live in New York. For years I've used Parks Hot 'n Sagey Sausage for my stuffing. This year I have not seen it in any supermarket. It comes in a one pound roll, the covering is orange. Has anyone seen it? Or can anyone suggest a substitute?

Thanks

To my understanding Parks sausage is out of buisness! We just found some in the Shoprite in jackson 260 N County Line Rd. That stuff is like gold! I heard Parks we under a couple years back, I don't know how old this sausage is the packaging looks fine everything looks great.

I think Park's may still be around...I know that Jamestown brand did go out of business (too bad too...it was a better product).

In any case, there are so many other brands around...Bob Evans, Jones, Jimmy Dean...that you can probably substitute one of those and not taste much of a difference. You can always add pepper if you like it hotter...

Yeah I know I was a chef at one point in my career! I was only stating a fact which I now think is false. I thought I read that some sports figure bought the parks brand but couldn't keep it going. If in fact that is not true then I am very glad, either way I now have eight packages, one ready to go for breakfast in the morning! Can't wait

Does this mean "No more Park sausages, Mom?"

there's a similar Smithfield sausage that I usually use.

Can you get the similar tube of Jimmy Dean Hot sausage? It's their sage sausage with hot pepper.

I second the Jimmy Dean suggestion - I think it's great in stuffing.

My husband will only eat Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage, I'm buying a roll for my stuffing this year.

Hi Squirrelly_wrath,

I live in Virginia and I too am also looking for the Parks Hot n' Sagey Sausage in my area but I think I can help you though. The Shop-Rite and Pathway grocery stores in Jersey City carry that Parks sausage that we're looking for.

God Bless

For thanksgiving I splurge and order sausage from Harrington's of Vermont. Their sausage has just the right spicing for turkey stuffing.

[emilief]

Me too! I have been using Harrington's sausage for my stuffing for many years. Great stuff. comes in 1 pound packages- loose sausage meat.

Any sagey breakfast sausage will do...but I like to make my own in order to control the fact content. All you need is ground pork, salt, pepper, sage, and a pinch of sugar. If you have it you can also add some savory. Really couldn't be simpler!

Bob Evans sage sausage should be fine to use.

[anni]

This is what I use.

[jenwee]

we use a double batch :) Love the sage!

[BabsW]

Same here. Love the stuff. :)

[enahoek]

I have one thawed ready for breakfast in the morning!

We also use Bob Evans sage. Note that in our area, the local supermarket has stopped stocking the B.E. sage sausage except around T-giving, so we now buy a few and freeze them to have throughout the year
