Pour broth into a small saucepan and simmer over low heat. Cover and set aside.
Pour oil in a sauté pan and place over medium high heat.
Add sausage to pan and brown for 4 to 5 minutes.

Pour onion mixture over browned sausage and gently toss together.
Add baguette cubes, dried cranberries and hazelnuts to the bowl and fold together.

Generously grease a baking dish with 2 tablespoons of butter and fill with the stuffing mixture.
