Delicious Cranberry, Sausage, and Apple Stuffing Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
• 0.25 cup butter
• 6 cups coarsely chopped leeks
• 3 tart apples - peeled, cored and chopped
• 2 cups chopped celery
• 4 teaspoons poultry seasoning
• 2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 12 cups white bread cubes, baked until slightly dry
• 1.33 cups chicken stock
• salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Get all of your ingredients ready.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook and crumble the sausage for about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a large bowl. Drain any grease from the pan.
3. Melt butter in the same skillet. Add leeks or onions, apples, celery, and poultry seasoning. Cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in rosemary, dried cranberries, and the cooked sausage. Combine everything with the dried bread cubes. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Add chicken stock for moisture.
4. If stuffing a turkey, use about 5 cups for a 14-pound turkey. Add more chicken stock if the stuffing seems dry. Bake any remaining stuffing in a buttered casserole dish, covered, at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for approximately 45 minutes.
5. Remove the cover and bake for an additional 15 minutes to brown the top.
6. Serve and enjoy this amazing Thanksgiving stuffing!
