Sausage, Dried Cranberry and Apple Stuffing
bread, chicken, sausage, apples, leeks, celery, butter, parsley, seasoning, sage, rosemary
Ingredients
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
Directions for Sausage, Dried Cranberry and Apple Stuffing Recipe
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. *Cook's Note: If stuffing a turkey, the stuffing must be cold before being placed in the bird.
