Apple And Sausage Stuffing Recipes

SAUSAGE, DRIED CRANBERRY AND APPLE STUFFING

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.

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.

AWESOME SAUSAGE, APPLE AND CRANBERRY STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degree F (175 degree C). Spread the white and whole wheat bread cubes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes in the preheated oven, or until evenly toasted. Transfer toasted bread cubes to a large bowl.
• In a large skillet, cook the sausage and onions over medium heat, stirring and breaking up the lumps until evenly browned. Add the celery, sage, rosemary, and thyme; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes to blend flavors.
• Pour sausage mixture over bread in bowl. Mix in chopped apple, dried cranberries, parsley, and liver. Drizzle with turkey stock and melted butter, and mix lightly. Allow stuffing to cool completely before loosely stuffing a turkey.
