CORNBREAD, SAUSAGE, APPLE, & PECAN STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Melt half the butter in a large skillet.
• Add onions and cook over medium-low to medium heat until tender and lightly browned, about 25 minutes.
• Remove onion and butter from pan and put in a very large bowl to be mixed later.
• In same skillet, melt rest of the butter, add apple, and cook quickly over high heat until lightly browned, but not mushy.
• Remove apples and butter from pan and put in the bowl with the onions.
• With the pan back on the burner, add sausage, crumbling as you cook it over medium heat, and cook until lightly browned.
• When done, remove with a slotted spoon and add it to the mixing bowl.

• Add remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl and combine gently.
• If you're going to stuff a turkey, cool completely in the refrigerator first.
• To cook it as a separate dressing, spoon the mixture into a large casserole (13 x 9 or slightly larger), cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30- 45 minutes at 325, basting occasionally with cooking juices from the turkey or with reserved sausage fat, if needed.
• Uncover the pan for the last 10 minutes of cooking to brown.
• Serve hot or warm.
• Note: You may need to use additional broth (approximately one 14 ounce can) as necessary to adjust the moistness of the stuffing to your taste, or if there are insufficient drippings from your poultry.
• Note: To make these as individual stuffing muffins, add one egg to the mix before baking to help the muffins keep their shape.

APPLE PECAN STUFFING

Steps:

• Set a large saute pan over medium heat and add olive oil, sage and thyme sprigs. As the oil heats up the herbs will crackle and fry, infusing the oil.

Season with salt and pepper. Remove onions from pan and add apples. Crush the pecans and add to the pan. Add more oil, if needed and season with salt and pepper. Gently saute until pecans are lightly toasted and apples are just cooked slightly - about 3 to 5 minutes. In a large mixing bowl whisk together egg, cream, chicken stock, and salt and pepper, to taste. Add torn sourdough, caramelized onions, apples, pecans and chopped parsley. Using a wooden spoon, mix the stuffing until well combined.
