Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
- Dice bread into 3/4-inch cubes; spread into an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven, stirring several times, until toasted, about 45 minutes. Keep oven on.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until foaming, about 2 minutes; do not allow butter to burn. Add Italian and andouille sausages. Cook, breaking sausages up into fine pieces, until just a few bits of pink remain, about 8 minutes.
- Add onion, celery, garlic, sage, rosemary, thyme, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir frequently until vegetables are softened, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 2 cups chicken broth, orange juice, and 1 tablespoon orange zest.

Gently fold in the toasted bread cubes, stuffing mix, and dried cranberries until evenly mixed. Transfer to a buttered 9x13-inch baking dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake until an instant-read thermometer reads 150 degrees F (66 degrees C), about 45 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake until crispy and golden brown on top, about 10 more minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with additional parsley if desired.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325° F.
- Cut corn bread into 1/2-inch cubes and in 2 large shallow baking pans bake in middle of oven until just dry, about 20 minutes. Transfer corn bread from 1 pan to a large bowl and in pan toast pecans in oven until insides are golden, 10 to 20 minutes.
- Halve leeks lengthwise and then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. In a bowl of cold water wash leeks well and lift from water into a sieve to drain. Chop celery. In a 12-inch skillet cook leeks and celery in butter with salt and pepper to taste over moderately low heat, stirring, until leeks are tender, about 25 minutes. Remove sausage from casings and break into small pieces. Add sausage to leek mixture and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes, or until sausage is cooked through.
- In a small heavy saucepan cook cranberries with sugar over moderately high heat, stirring, 5 minutes, or until some begin to burst. Chop parsley.
- To bowl of corn bread add remaining corn bread cubes, pecans, sausage mixture, cranberries, parsley, broth, and salt and pepper to taste and toss together. Cool stuffing completely. Stuffing may be made up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring stuffing to room temperature before proceeding.
- For cooking stuffing inside poultry:
- Any frozen poultry destined for stuffing should be completely thawed, and the stuffing itself brought to room temperature before it's put into the turkey. Do not stuff your bird the night before you cook it; such a seeming time-saver can have dangerous results. Instead, it is best to loosely fill the bird's neck and body cavities immediately before roasting. And always use a meat or instant-read thermometer: The meat is done when the temperature of the thickest part of the thigh (be careful not to touch the bones) reaches 180°F.; the stuffing baked inside the bird is done at 160°-165°F. After roasting, let your stuffed poultry stand 15 to 20 minutes, a double assurance that the requisite temperatures for food safety have been reached.
- For cooking all or part of stuffing outside poultry:
- In a shallow baking dish bake stuffing in preheated 325° F. oven 1 hour (for moist stuffing, bake covered entire time; for less moist stuffing with a slightly crisp top, uncover halfway through baking time).
Tips:
- Use high-quality sausage: A good-quality sausage will make all the difference in the flavor of your stuffing. Look for a sausage that is made with fresh, flavorful meat and has a good balance of spices.
- Don't overcook the sausage: Overcooked sausage will be dry and tough. Cook the sausage until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries will give your stuffing a bright, tart flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Use a variety of bread: Using a variety of bread will give your stuffing a more complex flavor and texture. A good combination is white bread, cornbread, and sourdough bread.
- Don't overstuff the stuffing: Overstuffing the stuffing will make it dense and dry. Stuff the stuffing loosely so that it has room to expand as it cooks.
- Bake the stuffing uncovered: Baking the stuffing uncovered will allow the top to get golden brown and crispy.
Conclusion:
Sausage, cranberry, and cornbread stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or any other special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your stuffing turns out perfect every time.
