The Best Vegan Stuffing
The Best Vegan Stuffing combines dried diced sourdough baguette with sautéed onion, celery, apple, and vegan sausage, seasoned with fresh sage, rosemary, thyme, and parsley, alongside dried cranberries for sweetness. Vegetable broth moistens the mixture before baking until the top is crisp and the interior moist, creating a flavorful and textured vegan side dish.
