AWESOME SAUSAGE, APPLE AND CRANBERRY STUFFING
This Thanksgiving stuffing is fantastic! It is very flavorful and fresh-tasting. This recipe will stuff a 10-pound turkey (which serves six) plus extra. I replaced the usual pork sausage with much healthier turkey sausage. Other dried fruits may also be used in place of cranberries.

Tips:
- Use fresh, flavorful ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your stuffing. Choose crisp apples, savory sausage, and fresh herbs.
- Don't overcook the stuffing. It should be cooked through, but not dry or mushy. If you're not sure if it's done, insert a thermometer into the center of the stuffing. It should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the stuffing rest before serving. This will help it to firm up and absorb all of the flavors.
- Serve the stuffing warm or at room temperature. It's also delicious the next day, cold or reheated.
