Delicious apple sausage stuffing with a sweet touch, perfect for your Thanksgiving feast. Made with sausage, sourdough, and diced apples.
Ingredients:
  • For the toasted bread:
  • 8 cups (1 pound) sourdough loaf, 1/2 inch cubed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • For the stuffing:
  • 1 pound country sausage – pork or turkey
  • 6 stalks celery (2 cups), diced
  • 2 large Gala apples, cored and diced small
  • 1 medium onion (1 cup), diced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups low sodium chicken stock
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Spread bread cubes on a large baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat and toast in the oven for 10 minutes until slightly crispy outside but tender inside. Cool and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  • Butter a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and let it sit to the side.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook sausage until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add celery, apples, onion, sage, thyme, and pepper. Sauté for 10 to 12 minutes until vegetables have a hint of color. Stir in apple cider vinegar and cook for 1 minute. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Add stock and scrape the bottom of the pan. Stir well.
  • Pour the skillet contents over the bread in the mixing bowl, stir to combine, and transfer everything to the prepared baking dish.
  • Prepare the baking dish: Grease one side of foil with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking. Cover the dish with the foil, oil side down, and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 20 minutes until stuffing is moist, crispy, and golden brown. Share your feedback by rating and leaving a comment!
