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 Apple Cranberry Dressing image

One of the BEST Southern Cornbread Dressing Recipes for the holidays! Loaded with sausage, apples and cranberries, this dressing is moist and full of flavor.

Provided by Stacey | SouthernDiscourse.com

Categories     Main Course     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 6.5 oz yellow cornbread mix packages
buttermilk as directed
1 Tbsp canola oil
1 lb ground sausage, (browned)
1 medium honeycrisp apple, (chopped)
1 medium granny smith apple, (chopped)
1 C dried cranberries
1/2 C diced yellow onion
1/2 C diced celery
1 10 3/4 oz can cream of chicken soup
1 14 oz can chicken broth
1 stick butter, (room temperature)
2 large eggs, (room temperature, beaten)
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 ° Fahrenheit. Add 1 Tbsp oil to your skillet. Place in oven while it is preheating.
  • Prepare cornbread in a mixing bowl as instructed on mix packages. Use buttermilk as a substitute for the water or milk designated on the mix. Use the same measurement for the buttermilk as designated on the mix for the other liquids.
  • Stir apples, cranberries, browned sausage, celery, and onion into the cornbread batter.
  • Pour cornbread batter into heated skillet. Bake for the time designated on the mix package. You may have to bake a few minutes longer to compensate for the moisture the apples release into the cornbread as it bakes.
  • Remove cornbread from oven after baking. Allow to cool, but not completely. Turn oven temperature down to 350 degrees.
  • While cornbread is still warm, remove from skillet and break into pieces in large mixing bowl. Add butter and mix together, breaking down the cornbread.
  • Add soup, eggs and seasonings to cornbread mixture. Mix ingredients together until all are well-incorporated. Stir in just enough broth so that the cornbread mixture looks almost like a batter again (don't make it overly wet), about half the can.
  • Spoon cornbread dressing into 9x13 casserole dish. Bake at 350 ° Fahrenheit for 30- 40 minutes or until dressing is golden brown and set in the middle.

Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound mild bulk breakfast sausage
4 tablespoons butter
3 cups sliced leeks, white and pale-green parts only, cleaned well (about 2 large leeks)
2 Granny Smith apples, cored and chopped
1 cup chopped celery with leaves
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
1 cup dried cranberries, rehydrated in boiling water for 15 minutes and drained
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
6 cups boxed bread cubes (croutons)
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 to 3 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Saute the sausage in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through, crumbling coarsely with the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage and drippings to a large bowl. Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the leeks, apples, celery and poultry seasoning to the skillet and saute until the leeks are soft, about 8 minutes. Mix in the drained cranberries, sage and rosemary. Add the mixture to the sausage, then mix in the croutons and parsley. Next add the chicken stock a little at a time until the stuffing is very moist. Be sure not to overdo it; it shouldn't be mushy. Season with salt and pepper. Place in a casserole dish. (The stuffing can be made to this point 2 days before Thanksgiving, refrigerated.)
  • Bake in a 14-inch oval or 9 by 13-inch rectangular casserole dish and place, uncovered, in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until the top is crispy and the center piping hot. Remove and serve immediately.
