Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 stick unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
1 pound sweet Italian sausage (bulk, or casings removed)
1 onion, finely chopped
5 stalks celery, finely chopped
2 apples, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 12-ounce bottle hard cider
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken or turkey broth
2 large eggs
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
12 cups 1/2 -inch stale white bread cubes (about 1 1/4 pounds)
1 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons fat from the turkey drippings (or butter)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and butter a 3-quart baking dish. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.
  • Melt the remaining 6 tablespoons butter in the skillet, then add the onion, celery, apples, sage, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the cider. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits, and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and return to a boil, then remove from the heat.
  • Whisk the eggs and parsley in a large bowl. Add the bread, sausage and vegetable-broth mixture and stir until combined. Transfer to the prepared baking dish; sprinkle with the walnuts and drizzle with the turkey drippings (or dot with butter).
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake 30 minutes, then uncover and bake until golden, about 30 more minutes.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

16 oz dried bread cubes ((see instructions))
1 large sweet onion, (diced)
4 stalks celery, (diced)
2 large carrots, (small diced)
6 cloves garlic, (minced)
1 large sweet, crisp apple ((like Fuji), small diced)

2/3 cup vegan butter (+ more for greasing pan and topping)

Steps:

  • *You need stale bread in order to properly make this recipe. In order to do this, buy a loaf of Italian bread, cut it up into small 1/2" cubes and place on a tray in a single layer to dry out (get stale). This takes about a day or two. Once your bread is ready, then you can proceed with the rest of the recipe.

  • Add vegan sausage, 1 tablespoon of the sage and 1 sprig of thyme leaves. Cook the sausage according to the package, chopping it up while cooking until crumbly.
  • Remove the sausage to a plate.
  • In the same pot, add the remaining butter.
  • Once melted, add in onions, celery, apples, and carrots. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add in garlic and herbs, salt and pepper, and cook for 5 more minutes.
  • Add in the cooked vegan sausage and stir together, cook for another minute or two.
  • Add bread cubes and 1 cup of broth. Gently toss together. Turn off heat.
  • Add In more broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each, until your mixture is soft. You may not use all the broth. *You do NOT want soggy bread or it won't cook properly.
  • Place mixture in a lightly buttered 9x13 casserole dish and place a few pats of butter on top.
  • Cover with foil (or a baking sheet if you avoid foil).
  • Bake for 35 minutes. The uncover and cook for 15 more or until the bread pieces on top are golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and let set 5 minutes before serving. Best served warm.

VEGAN APPLE SAUSAGE STUFFING



Vegan Apple Sausage Stuffing image

This is a veganized version of a favorite stuffing recipe in my family. When I became a vegan a few years ago, my mom and I converted all of our favorite Thanksgiving recipes, and this one turned out especially great in vegan form. You could easily make in non-vegan by using real sausage instead. This makes quite a bit, so feel free to halve the recipe.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h

Yield 25 links, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 cup dried apple (Measured Loosely)
2 cups filtered water
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
2/3 cup vital wheat gluten
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
1/4 cup almond meal or 1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup brown rice, Cooked
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground thyme
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon crushed fennel seed
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons liquid from apples
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
1 teaspoon seasoned Chinese white rice vinegar

Steps:

  • Place apples and water in a medium saucepan on medium heat and cook for about 15 minutes. After they have cooked reserve left over liquid from cooking the apples. Spread the apples out and allow them to cool.
  • In a food processor pulse the oats a few times to break them up. Pour into a medium sized mixing bowl with the wheat gluten, nutritional yeast flakes, almond flour, brown rice, flaxseed, sugar, sage, garlic powder, lemon pepper, thyme, clove, pepper flakes, fennel and salt.
  • Put apples in the food processor and add the 2 tablespoons of the reserved apple water, liquid smoke and vinegar. If there was no water left from cooking the apples, just add water. Puree for 2 minutes. To this add the dry ingredients from the mixing bowl and process until it mixes together and forms a ball in the processor. Take out of processor and place back into the mixing bowl.
  • Preheat oven 300 degrees.
  • To make the sausages, measure out 1 tablespoon for each sausage link. A tip, rubbing some oil inside the tablespoon helps the sausage dough from sticking to the spoon. First roll the dough into a ball, then between your hands to get the shape started. Then place it on a piece of wax paper and roll into a 3 1/2 inch link.
  • Place them on a greased cookie sheet, spray the tops with a little oil, cover with aluminum foil loosely and place into the oven for 15 minutes. Turn them over, cover again and cook them another 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before eating.
  • These can be frozen and reheated in the microwave.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
  • Be sure to cook the apples until they are softened, but not mushy. This will help them to hold their shape in the stuffing.
  • If you don't have any vegetable broth, you can use water instead. Just be sure to add a little bit of salt and pepper to taste.
  • You can also add other ingredients to your stuffing, such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or herbs.
  • Be sure to stuff the turkey or chicken loosely so that it has room to expand while cooking.

Conclusion:

This vegan apple sausage stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or any other special occasion. It is also a great way to use up leftover apples. So next time you are looking for a tasty and festive stuffing recipe, be sure to give this one a try.
