Kittencal's Sausage and Cranberry Stuffing image

This stuffing pairs well with my recipe#199612, for an 18-20 pound turkey you will need to *double* the recipe, the amounts listed are for a 10-pound turkey --- I strongly suggest to prepare this stuffing a day ahead as the flavors will combine together, this may also be baking in a casserole dish covered with foil in a 350 degree f oven for about 30-35 minutes --- *note* for 6 cups bread cubes I use about half of an unsliced French bread (not a baguette) for a double recipe use all of the loaf :)

Time 1h

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 cups bread cubes (use a mixture of whole wheat and white bread)
1 lb pork sausage (I use mild Italian sausauges with casings removed)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 small celery ribs, diced
2 -3 teaspoons dried sage (start with 2 teaspoons adding in more to taste)
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
1 large apple (peeled, cored and chopped, use Granny Smith or Golden delicious)
1 cup dried craisin (or use dried cranberries)
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup toasted pecans
3/4-1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup melted butter
1 -2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spread the bread cubes onto a large baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Bake about 6-7 minutes or until toasted evenly.
  • Transfer the bread cubes to a large bowl; set aside (this may be done a day ahead).
  • In a large skillet cook the pork sausage meat with onion, garlic and thyme until browned breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon while cooking.
  • Add in celery, sage and rosemary; cook stirring with a wooden spoon for 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour the sausage mixture over the toasted bread cubes in the bowl.
  • Add in chopped apple, craisins or dried cranberries, chopped fresh parsley and toasted nuts; toss well to combine and season with black pepper.
  • Drizzle the chicken stock and melted butter over the mixture; toss lightly to combine (if the mixture is too dry then add in a little more broth).
  • Spoon the mixture loosley into the whole turkey (do not pack in the stuffing you can bake any extra in a baking dish).

This stuffing was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less cranberries next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my stuffing turned out bland. I think I would add more herbs and spices next time.

This stuffing was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more broth or butter next time.
