Another stuffing recipe, but a little different. I like to use the turkey sausages for this because they already have some seasoning in them. The apple and pecans really raise the flavor level of the dish.

This was very good ~ a little spicy, a little sweet. I used sun-dried tomato chicken sausages. Loved the apples and pecans, 2 of my favorite ingredients. I couldn't really taste the nutmeg ~ maybe I'll add a little more next time, I think it would really enhance the dish. Thanks Jess for posting. Made for PRMR, September 2009.
