Apple-Sausage Stuffing for Turkey image

I found this recipe in an old Homemaker's magazine. I made it for a Thanksgiving dinner a few years ago, and now whenever it's my turn to cook a holiday meal, I have to make this! It's easy and delicious. I prefer making the stuffing as a side dish, rather than stuffing the turkey, so the turkey cooks quicker and it makes less of a mess.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb ground sausage meat
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 tablespoon sage
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon marjoram
10 cups cubed bread (stale works best)
2 onions, sliced
2 apples, peeled, cored, cut into small cubes
1 1/4 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cook sausage until no longer pink, about 10 min, stir often.
  • Drain most of the fat (leave about a tablespoon).
  • Add onions and celery, cook another 3 minute.
  • Stir in apples, sage, thyme, and marjoram, cook another 5 minutes.
  • Add 1 cup of chicken stock, and bring to a boil.
  • Remove from heat, stir in bread, parsley, salt and pepper.
  • Spoon into a lightly greased casserole dish.
  • (This recipe can be made ahead to this point, it will keep in the fridge for 2 days or in the freezer for 2 weeks. If frozen, thaw in fridge before baking).
  • Bake, covered, in 325°F oven for about 40 minutes. Halfway through cooking time, drizzle with the remaining chicken stock.
  • Remove the lid and bake 10 more minutes, until the stuffing has a crusty top and is heated through.
