For best results, use a good quality Italian sausage. Adjust the amount of chicken stock depending on the dryness of your bread. The stuffing should be moist but not soggy. If you don't have leeks, you can substitute with yellow onions. The stuffing can be prepared a day ahead. Store in the refrigerator and bake as directed, adding about 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. Consider adding chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture and flavor.
