Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and celery and cook for about 4-5 minutes or until softened. Add the sausage, breaking into crumbles as it browns. Once sausage is cooked through, season with salt and pepper; stir in the fresh herbs.
  3. Then stir in the diced apples, cranberries, bread crumbs and chicken stock.
  4. Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared dish. Drizzle melted butter over the stuffing and cover tightly with foil.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes covered, then for another 20 uncovered until stuffing is lightly toasted. Sprinkle with additional fresh herbs before serving.
