Kittencal's Sausage and Cranberry Stuffing

"This stuffing pairs well with my recipe#199612, for an 18-20 pound turkey you will need to *double* the recipe, the amounts listed are for a 10-pound turkey --- I strongly suggest to prepare this stuffing a day ahead as the flavors will combine together, this may also be baking in a casserole dish covered with foil in a 350 degree f oven for about 30-35 minutes --- *note* for 6 cups bread cubes I use about half of an unsliced French bread (not a baguette) for a double recipe use all of the loaf :)"

directions

  • Set oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spread the bread cubes onto a large baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Bake about 6-7 minutes or until toasted evenly.
  • Transfer the bread cubes to a large bowl; set aside (this may be done a day ahead).
  • In a large skillet cook the pork sausage meat with onion, garlic and thyme until browned breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon while cooking.
  • Add in celery, sage and rosemary; cook stirring with a wooden spoon for 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour the sausage mixture over the toasted bread cubes in the bowl.
  • Add in chopped apple, craisins or dried cranberries, chopped fresh parsley and toasted nuts; toss well to combine and season with black pepper.
  • Drizzle the chicken stock and melted butter over the mixture; toss lightly to combine (if the mixture is too dry then add in a little more broth).
  • Spoon the mixture loosley into the whole turkey (do not pack in the stuffing you can bake any extra in a baking dish).

  1. My dd has made this for the last 2 xmas's,she doesn't add sausage but everything else plus rosemary,for us its perfect.Someday I will add pork when I make stuffing thanks.
     
  2. My Aunt always made something similar to this and this was the closest recipe I could find online for my work Christmas party last year. I am making it now for my boyfriend's birthday. I am really excited about it, it is a great recipe!!!! I doubled the recipe and use 1 tube of Italian sausage and 1 tube of sage sausage. Thanks kittencal, you rock!
     
  3. i omitted the apple and pecans due to personal preference (picky eaters) but this is one of the best stuffing recipes i have ever had. thanks for sharing.
     
  4. I won't rate this until I make it more close to the recipe, bcz I used packaged stuffing and didn't use the cranberries. (I was lucky my DH let me put in the apples! :lol:) We made 1 1/2 of the recipe with 3 (8 oz) bags of stuffing and needed a little over 2 cups of broth (for the 14 lb bird, we had a ton left over to bake in the dish.) It was good, but I want to make again with the homemade bread instead. Will rate then.
