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.

- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor than dried cranberries, and they hold their shape better when cooked.
- Choose crisp apples. Crisp apples, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, will hold their shape better when cooked than softer apples.
- Soak the raisins in hot water. Soaking the raisins in hot water will plump them up and make them softer.
- Use a variety of nuts. A variety of nuts, such as walnuts, pecans, and almonds, will add flavor and texture to the stuffing.
- Season the stuffing well. Be sure to season the stuffing with salt and pepper, as well as other herbs and spices, to taste.
- Cook the stuffing until it is heated through. The stuffing should be cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
