Best Variations On Stuffing 101 Sausage And Apple Stuffing Recipes

SAUSAGE AND APPLE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a shallow 3-quart baking dish. Cut or tear the bread into bite-size pieces. Divide between 2 rimmed baking sheets and spread into a single layer. Bake until slightly dry and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool completely.
• Meanwhile, cook the sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes Transfer the sausage to a plate using a slotted spoon. Add the cranberries, thyme, apple, onion, celery, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the drippings in the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and parsley and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and pour into a large bowl.
• Add the toasted bread to the onion mixture and toss until evenly moistened. Stir in the egg and cooked sausage. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and evenly spread without packing the stuffing down too much. Bake until the top is crusty, about 40 minutes. Drizzle the melted butter over the top and continue to bake until the top is crisp and golden, about 20 minutes more. Sprinkle the top with some chopped parsley.

BEST SAUSAGE AND APPLE STUFFING RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees
• Cut the bread into cubes, about 1/2" to 3/4" cubed pieces, and lay them on a baking sheet. ( I like to find bread in the marked down or day-old section of the bakery. You can use a mixture of sourdough, white and wheat bread.)
• Lay the bread cubes on a large baking sheet and bake in a 250-degree oven for about an hour. You will want to toss them a few times in that hour to dry out all the bread.
• Transfer the bread cubes to a very large bowl. Set aside while you make the rest of the stuffing.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cut up your onions and celery. 1/2" pieces work great. Put them in a large pot with the butter. Cook on medium heat, stirring frequently, until your celery and onions are tender and translucent, about 8 minutes.
• Add the sausage and using the bottom of the spoon, break the sausage up into small chunks. Cook the mixture until the sausage is no longer pink. Add the diced apples and cook for an additional minute.
• Add the minced Parsley, Thyme, and Sage, Salt, Pepper and 1 1/2" cups of the chicken broth.
• Pour the chicken broth and celery mixture over the cubed bread. Gently fold the ingredients together. (The stuffing should be moist but no standing water. If it seems like it's a little dry, add the additional 1/2 cup of chicken broth.)
• Spray a 9 by 13" baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• Spread the stuffing evenly on the baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes, stirring gently every 15 minutes. When the stuffing is done, the top should be lightly brown.
• Serve Immediately. Stuffing is best warm and fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.

SAUSAGE & APPLE STUFFING

Steps:

• Heat the broth, celery, onion and apples in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the vegetables and apples are tender.
• Add the sausage and stuffing and stir lightly to coat.

SAUSAGE AND APPLE STUFFING

Steps:

• In a large pot melt 2 sticks butter in water. When melted add dry cornbread stuffing stirring to incorporate liquid, set aside.
• In a large saute pan set over medium-high heat melt 1 tablespoon butter and add sausage. With a wooden spoon break up sausage and saute until lightly browned and cooked through. Transfer sausage to paper towels to drain. In the same pan melt remaining butter and saute onions with the garlic, celery, thyme, and sage until onions are translucent and celery is crisp tender. Add walnuts and saute for 1 minute. Add apples and saute for one minute more. Remove from heat. Combine cornbread stuffing with sauteed ingredients and stuff turkey. Roast turkey as usual.
