CRANBERRY-WALNUT STUFFING



Cranberry-Walnut Stuffing image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
1 1/2 cups walnuts
8 ounces sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup dried cranberries
One 14-ounce package cornbread stuffing mix, such as Pepperidge Farm
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
2 cups turkey or chicken stock
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly butter a 2- to 3-quart glass or ceramic baking dish.
  • In a dry saute pan set over medium heat, toast the walnuts until lightly golden brown, about 5 minutes; cool and chop.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the celery, onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in the cranberries and cook to just slightly plump them, about 1 minute, and then remove from the heat.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the stuffing mix, sage, thyme and walnuts. Mix together the stock and egg in a large measuring cup, then add it to the mixing bowl along with the sausage-vegetable mixture. Add 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and stir gently to combine thoroughly.
  • Transfer the stuffing mixture to the baking dish and bake until hot and golden brown on top, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve hot.

Categories     dessert

Time 4h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup rolled oats
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt
4 large or 6 medium firm baking apples (such as Rome, Golden Delicious or Honey Crisp)
1 cup apple cider
Vanilla ice cream and pure maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the walnuts, cranberries, brown sugar, oats, butter, lemon juice, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl and squeeze together until a wet and sandy mixture is formed.
  • Scoop the core out of each apple with a melon baller, taking care not to scoop completely through to the bottom or the sides. Stuff each apple with some of the cranberry-walnut mixture. Place the apples in the slow cooker insert and pour in the apple cider. Cover and cook on low until the apples are tender but still slightly firm, 3 to 4 hours depending on the size and type of apple. (If your apples are on the smaller size, check after 2 hours; they may cook faster.)
  • Serve each apple whole or cut in half in a bowl with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of maple syrup.

CRANBERRY STUFFING



Cranberry Stuffing image

This is an original recipe for those who like trying something a little different. Using cranberries, walnuts, and golden raisins, you can make a stuffing that sweetens your Thanksgiving meal! I'm not actually sure how well it does when baked in a turkey. I find that putting stuffing in the bird tends to dry the bird.

Provided by DAELAYNA

Categories     Side Dish     Casseroles

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (1 pound) loaf sourdough bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 ½ cups dried cranberries
1 ½ cups golden raisins
1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
2 tablespoons brown sugar
½ cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  • Combine the bread, cranberries, raisins, and walnuts in a large bowl. Whisk together the brown sugar and butter in a separate bowl; season with cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt; stir into the bread cubes until evenly distributed. Spread the mixture into the prepared dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crisp on top, 45 to 60 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and hold their shape better than frozen cranberries.
  • Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and makes them more fragrant.
  • Use a variety of herbs: The combination of sage, thyme, and rosemary gives this stuffing a delicious and complex flavor.
  • Don't overcook the stuffing: Overcooked stuffing is dry and crumbly. Cook the stuffing until it is just heated through.
  • Stuff the turkey loosely: Don't pack the stuffing tightly into the turkey, as this will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Let the stuffing rest before serving: Let the stuffing rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

This simple cranberry and toasted walnut stuffing is a delicious and festive side dish for your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. It is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. The combination of sweet cranberries, crunchy walnuts, and savory herbs makes this stuffing a hit with everyone who tries it.
