Sausage Stuffing is a savory and surprising twist on the traditional side dish that is so popular on Thanksgiving tables. This version is loaded with chopped apples and dried cranberries for a burst of sweet and tart flavor that really complements the savory herbs and Italian sausage.

Ingredients
- 8 cups bread cut into 1/2- to 1-inch cubes, either homemade or unseasoned store-bought bread cubes, day-old
- 1 pound Italian sausage casings removed, mild
- 1/2 cup butter salted
- 1 onion diced (about 1 1/4 cups, medium
- 3 celery diced (about 1 cup, stalks
- 2 apple unpeeled, cored, and diced, Granny Smith variety
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries
- 2 Tablespoons flat-leaf parsley freshly chopped, Italian
- 1 Tablespoon rosemary chopped, fresh
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 2 egg large
Instructions
- If using bread that isn't already stale, preheat oven to 300°F and spread the bread cubes onto a baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes to help dry them out. If you have time to plan ahead, you can cut the bread into cubes a day in advance and let them dry out so they are stale, which will help them absorb the liquid better.
- Increase the oven temperature to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Break up and brown the sausage in a large skillet, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Melt the butter in the same pan. Add the onions, celery, and apples. Saute for about 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic during the last 30 seconds.
- Combine the bread cubes in a large bowl with the cooked sausage, onions, celery, apples, garlic, dried cranberries, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Beat the eggs in small bowl, then add them to the bread mixture along with the chicken broth, gently tossing everything together to evenly moisten the stuffing mixture.
- Transfer the stuffing to the prepared pan, then bake for 50-60 minutes until golden brown and hot all the way through. If it starts browning too much on top, cover with a piece of foil.
