Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 400º F.
• Cut the polenta into ½-inch-thick slices, then cut each slice into 8 little wedges.
• Combine with the sliced sausages in a large mixing bowl.
• Drizzle in half of the oil and toss to coat. Spread evenly in a lightly oiled or parchment-lined roasting pan. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remain oil in a medium skillet. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until translucent. Add the celery and continue to sauté until both it and the onion are golden.
• One the polenta and sausage mixture has roasted for 20 minutes, stir in the onion and celery mixture; then stir in the rosemary leaves, parsley, thyme, seasoning blend, and optional sage leaves.
• Drizzle in a bit of broth, just enough to moisten the mixture but not drench it. Bake for 10 minutes longer.
• Remove from the oven, and transfer to a serving container. Cover and keep the stuffing warm or serve at once.
