AWESOME SAUSAGE, APPLE AND CRANBERRY STUFFING



Awesome Sausage, Apple and Cranberry Stuffing image

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.

Sausage stuffing recipes are a go-to for many homemakers, and it's always hard to go wrong with apple pie. Apple pie sausage stuffing recipes are a perfect blend of savory and sweet flavors. If you're looking to make apple pie sausage stuffing from scratch, here are some valuable tips to guide you.

1. Start with the Right Sausage

The first step in making apple pie sausage stuffing is using the best sausage. The best type of sausage for this recipe is sweet Italian sausage. It has a mild flavor and is easy to balance with sweet apples and savory bread. You can use any brand of sausage, but be sure to get fresh and not pre-cooked sausage.

2. Use the Right Bread

The type of bread you use in your stuffing can make a huge difference in the outcome. For this recipe, it's best to use stale bread. Day-old bread is perfect because it has more moisture and will not make the stuffing too dry. You can use any type of bread you prefer, but avoid using crusty bread like French bread or ciabatta. Soft bread like white, whole wheat, or sourdough works best.

3. Add Some Apples

Apples are the star of this recipe, and you want to make sure you use just the right amount. The best type of apples for the stuffing are sweet, crisp, and firm. You can use a variety like Honeycrisp, Jonagold, or Braeburn. Avoid using soft apples like McIntosh or Red Delicious. Remember, you want to balance the sweet and savory flavors in the stuffing.

4. Add Some Herbs and Spices

Herbs and spices can elevate the flavor of your stuffing. For apple pie sausage stuffing, you can use sage, thyme, rosemary, or a blend of all three. These herbs pair nicely with apples and sausage. For spices, you can add cinnamon or nutmeg to give the stuffing a warm and comforting taste.

5. Cook the Sausage First

Before adding the sausage to the stuffing, you need to cook it first. Pre-cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned. Make sure to break it up into small pieces using a spoon or spatula. Remove from heat and let it cool while you prepare the other ingredients.

6. Sauté the Apples and Onions

After cooking the sausage, sauté the apples and onions in the same skillet over medium heat until they soften. Add the herbs and spices at this point and stir to combine. The apples and onions will absorb the flavors from the herbs and spices, making them even more delicious.

7. Mix the Ingredients Together

Once the sausage, apples, and onions have cooled slightly, add them to a large mixing bowl with the stale bread. Mix well to combine all the ingredients. If the stuffing seems dry, you can add chicken broth or turkey broth, one tablespoon at a time, until it's moist.

8. Bake the Stuffing

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the stuffing to a greased baking dish, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the top is golden brown and crispy.

9. Let it Rest

After taking the stuffing out of the oven, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together, making the stuffing even more flavorful.
Conclusion
Apple pie sausage stuffing is a delicious and savory treat for your family and friends. When making this recipe, ensure you use the right ingredients and follow the outlined tips for a scrumptious outcome. Enjoy it with your favorite main dish during the holiday season, or any time of the year.
