CORNBREAD, SAUSAGE, APPLE, & PECAN STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Melt half the butter in a large skillet.
• Add onions and cook over medium-low to medium heat until tender and lightly browned, about 25 minutes.
• Remove onion and butter from pan and put in a very large bowl to be mixed later.
• In same skillet, melt rest of the butter, add apple, and cook quickly over high heat until lightly browned, but not mushy.
• Remove apples and butter from pan and put in the bowl with the onions.
• With the pan back on the burner, add sausage, crumbling as you cook it over medium heat, and cook until lightly browned.

• If you're going to stuff a turkey, cool completely in the refrigerator first.
• To cook it as a separate dressing, spoon the mixture into a large casserole (13 x 9 or slightly larger), cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30- 45 minutes at 325, basting occasionally with cooking juices from the turkey or with reserved sausage fat, if needed.
• Uncover the pan for the last 10 minutes of cooking to brown.
• Serve hot or warm.
• Note: You may need to use additional broth (approximately one 14 ounce can) as necessary to adjust the moistness of the stuffing to your taste, or if there are insufficient drippings from your poultry.
• Note: To make these as individual stuffing muffins, add one egg to the mix before baking to help the muffins keep their shape.

APPLE PECAN STUFFING

Steps:

• Set a large saute pan over medium heat and add olive oil, sage and thyme sprigs. As the oil heats up the herbs will crackle and fry, infusing the oil. Remove the sage and thyme and set aside on a paper towel to drain - these can be as a garnish, if desired. Add onions to the pan and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes until caramelized. Season with salt and pepper. Remove onions from pan and add apples. Crush the pecans and add to the pan. Add more oil, if needed and season with salt and pepper. Gently saute until pecans are lightly toasted and apples are just cooked slightly - about 3 to 5 minutes. In a large mixing bowl whisk together egg, cream, chicken stock, and salt and pepper, to taste. Add torn sourdough, caramelized onions, apples, pecans and chopped parsley. Using a wooden spoon, mix the stuffing until well combined.

Add 2/3 cup of the cider (reserve the rest), scrape up any brown bits, and let the cider reduce for 1 min. Pour the apples and liquid into the onion mixture and let cool completely. In a large bowl, combine the rice, bread, and apple mixture. Refrigerate. On the day of serving: Bring the stuffing to room temperature. Mix the eggs, 1 cup cider, and chicken broth.
