Awesome Sausage, Apple and Cranberry Stuffing image

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 cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a tart and juicy flavor that is perfect for stuffing. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Sauté the sausage and vegetables before adding them to the stuffing: This will help to develop their flavor and prevent the stuffing from becoming dry.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: This will give the stuffing a complex and flavorful taste. Some good choices include sage, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and onion powder.
  • Don't overmix the stuffing: Overmixing will make the stuffing dense and dry. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Stuff the turkey loosely: This will allow the stuffing to expand as it cooks. If the stuffing is too tightly packed, it will become dense and dry.
  • Bake the stuffing until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit: This will ensure that the stuffing is cooked through and safe to eat.

Conclusion:

Cranberry sausage and brioche stuffing is a delicious and festive side dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its sweet and tart flavor, this stuffing is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
