CORNBREAD, SAUSAGE, APPLE, & PECAN STUFFING
Breads, fruit, nuts, and sausage combine to make a tasty stuffing for a 20-lb turkey or a casserole of dressing on the side. If you're using a smaller turkey, you can put excess stuffing in a smaller casserole dish and bake it while the turkey's resting before carving. Southern influenced, this has become our favorite dressing for Thanksgiving or any special occasion. You could add other fruits (cranberry AND apple, for example) or different nuts or seasonings to suit your tastes. Adapted from "The Silver Palate Cookbook".

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Melt half the butter in a large skillet.
- Add onions and cook over medium-low to medium heat until tender and lightly browned, about 25 minutes.
- Remove onion and butter from pan and put in a very large bowl to be mixed later.
- In same skillet, melt rest of the butter, add apple, and cook quickly over high heat until lightly browned, but not mushy.
- Remove apples and butter from pan and put in the bowl with the onions.
- With the pan back on the burner, add sausage, crumbling as you cook it over medium heat, and cook until lightly browned.
- When done, remove with a slotted spoon and add it to the mixing bowl.
- Reserve drippings for basting later.
- Add remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl and combine gently.
- If you're going to stuff a turkey, cool completely in the refrigerator first.
- To cook it as a separate dressing, spoon the mixture into a large casserole (13 x 9 or slightly larger), cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30- 45 minutes at 325, basting occasionally with cooking juices from the turkey or with reserved sausage fat, if needed.
- Uncover the pan for the last 10 minutes of cooking to brown.
- Serve hot or warm.
- Note: You may need to use additional broth (approximately one 14 ounce can) as necessary to adjust the moistness of the stuffing to your taste, or if there are insufficient drippings from your poultry.
- Note: To make these as individual stuffing muffins, add one egg to the mix before baking to help the muffins keep their shape.

Steps:
- Set a large saute pan over medium heat and add olive oil, sage and thyme sprigs. As the oil heats up the herbs will crackle and fry, infusing the oil. Remove the sage and thyme and set aside on a paper towel to drain - these can be as a garnish, if desired. Add onions to the pan and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes until caramelized. Season with salt and pepper. Remove onions from pan and add apples. Crush the pecans and add to the pan. Add more oil, if needed and season with salt and pepper. Gently saute until pecans are lightly toasted and apples are just cooked slightly - about 3 to 5 minutes. In a large mixing bowl whisk together egg, cream, chicken stock, and salt and pepper, to taste. Add torn sourdough, caramelized onions, apples, pecans and chopped parsley. Using a wooden spoon, mix the stuffing until well combined.
- Scoop stuffing into cavity of pork crown roast and cook accordingly with roast.

Steps:
- Prepare the cornbread. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 4 1/2-inch by 8 1/2-inch loaf pan. In a small bowl, stir together the milk and vinegar. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in the milk mixture, eggs and oil until just blended; fold in the corn kernels. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack.
- Prepare the stuffing. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease an 8-inch square pan with olive oil. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until softened, about five minutes; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, or to taste.
- In a large bowl, toss together the onion mixture, cornbread, apple and herb blend. Transfer to the prepared pan. Scatter the pecans on top and cover with foil; bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil; bake until crispy and golden, about 20 minutes more.

WILD RICE, PECAN SPICED, APPLE & SOURDOUGH BREAD STUFFING
Steps:
- Two days ahead: Trim the crust from the bread and cut the remainder into 1/2-inch dice to get 6 cups. Spread the bread on baking sheets to dry overnight. One day ahead: In a large pot, combine the wild rice, 6 cups water, and 2 tsp. salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a low simmer, cover, and cook until tender and the kernels start to open, 50 to 55 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain if necessary, and spread out to cool on a baking sheet. In a large sauté pan, heat 2 Tbs. oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, sauté 4 minutes; add the celery and garlic and sauté until the onions are translucent, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the herbs, pepper, and 1 Tbs. salt. Cool in a shallow dish. Meanwhile, peel, core, and dice the apples. Return the pan to the heat and add the remaining 1 Tbs. oil and 2 Tbs. butter. When the butter sizzles, add the apples and sprinkle in the sugar. Sauté until the apples begin to brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add 2/3 cup of the cider (reserve the rest), scrape up any brown bits, and let the cider reduce for 1 min. Pour the apples and liquid into the onion mixture and let cool completely. In a large bowl, combine the rice, bread, and apple mixture. Refrigerate. On the day of serving: Bring the stuffing to room temperature. Mix the eggs, 1 cup cider, and chicken broth. Fold the liquid into the stuffing mixture and mix well. It will be fairly wet. Fold in the spiced pecans. Follow the directions for stuffing the turkey and baking the extra stuffing in a pan in the Roasted Turkey recipe.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325°F. Starting at back opening of turkey, gently separate skin from turkey breast, using fingers. In small bowl, stir together honey, 2 tablespoons melted butter, the chili powder, allspice and cumin; brush half of mixture over turkey breast under skin (reserve remaining honey mixture).
- In 4-quart Dutch oven, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium-high heat. Cook pecans in butter 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted. Lightly stir in apple, stuffing mix and apple juice until moistened.
- Stuff turkey just before baking. Fill wishbone area with stuffing first. Fasten neck skin to back with skewer. Fold wings across back with tips touching. Fill body cavity lightly with remaining stuffing. (Do not pack--stuffing will expand while cooking.) Tuck drumsticks under band of skin at tail, or tie together with heavy string, then tie to tail. Place turkey, breast side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of inside thigh muscle and does not touch bone. Do not add water.
- Cover with foil and bake 3 to 4 hours, uncovering and brushing with remaining honey mixture for last 30 minutes of baking, until thermometer reads 180°F and juice is no longer pink when center of thigh is cut. Drumsticks should move easily when lifted or twisted.
- Place turkey on warm platter; cover with foil to keep warm. Let stand at least 15 minutes for easiest carving. Cover and refrigerate any remaining turkey and stuffing separately.

What is Apple Pecan Stuffing?
Apple pecan stuffing is a delicious and flavorful side dish that is usually served during the holiday season, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas. This type of stuffing is made with bread, seasoned with herbs such as sage and thyme, mixed with sautéed onions, celery, and garlic, and combined with apples and pecans for a sweet and nutty taste.Ingredients Used in Apple Pecan Stuffing
The ingredients used in apple pecan stuffing generally include:- Bread (usually white or wheat bread)
- Apples (usually peeled and diced)
- Pecans (usually chopped)
- Onions (usually diced or chopped)
- Celery (usually diced)
- Garlic (usually minced)
- Herbs (usually sage, thyme, and sometimes rosemary or parsley)
- Butter or oil (for sautéing)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Chicken or vegetable broth (to moisten the stuffing)
How to Make Apple Pecan Stuffing
The exact recipe for apple pecan stuffing may vary depending on personal preferences or family traditions, but the general steps usually involve: 1. Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). 2. Cut the bread into small cubes and spread them out on a baking sheet. Bake for about 10-15 minutes until they are dry and slightly toasted. 3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, and garlic and sauté until they are soft and fragrant. 4. Add the diced apples and chopped pecans to the skillet and sauté for several more minutes until they are slightly softened and coated with the butter and seasonings. 5. Stir in the dried bread cubes and herbs to the skillet and mix well until everything is evenly distributed. 6. Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable broth to moisten the stuffing. You may need more or less broth depending on how dry or moist you like your stuffing. 7. Transfer the stuffing mixture to a baking dish and cover it with foil. 8. Bake the stuffing for about 30-40 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the top is crispy and golden brown. 9. Serve the apple pecan stuffing warm alongside your favorite holiday dishes.Variations of Apple Pecan Stuffing
While apple pecan stuffing is already a delicious and popular side dish, some people may like to experiment with variations or add extra ingredients to customize the recipe to their liking. Here are some possible variations of apple pecan stuffing:- Swap the bread: You can use different types of bread for the stuffing, such as cornbread, sourdough, or rye bread, depending on your taste preferences.
- Use different nuts: Instead of pecans, you can use other types of nuts such as walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts to add more crunch and flavor.
- Add meat or sausage: For a heartier stuffing, you can add cooked sausage, bacon, or even diced turkey or chicken to the mixture.
- Include other fruits: While apples are the traditional fruit in apple pecan stuffing, you can also add other fruits such as dried cranberries, raisins, or apricots to add more sweetness and texture.
- Make it vegan or gluten-free: By using vegetable broth and gluten-free bread, you can make the stuffing suitable for vegan or gluten-free diets.
