APPLE, CRANBERRY, PECAN STUFFING
Steps:
- The night before, cut the bread into one inch cubes and set it aside in large bowl to dry out. You want the texture of day old bread, dry but not hard as a rock. Another option would be to cube the bread and bake it for 10 minutes at 350°F just before you're ready to make the stuffing.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Add extra virgin olive oil, onions, garlic, salt and black pepper to a large pot and sauté for 10 minutes over medium heat.
- Add fresh rosemary, fresh sage, dried cranberries, chopped pecans, fresh parsley and vegetable stock to the pot. Stir, cover and let simmer over medium high heat for 10-15 minutes. Taste the stock and adjust seasoning if needed at this stage.
- Grab the bowl of bread, add in the apples and stock mixture. Gently mix until everything is fully combined. The bread should be nice and moist but not soggy.
- Pour the stuffing into a baking dish the cove the baking dish with foil and pop it into the oven for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crisp.
- Serve warm and enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Combine the stuffing mix and water in a mixing bowl; set aside. Grease a roasting pan with cooking spray.
- Trim the fat and connective tissue from the pork loin. Cut from one side through the middle horizontally to within 1/2-inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book. Place the pork loin between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the pork with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2-inch.
- Stir the apple, cranberries, pecans, and onion into the stuffing mix. Season the pork loin with salt and pepper to taste, then spread the stuffing mix onto the cut side of the loin. Roll the pork into a firm cylinder, and secure with cooking twine. Place into the prepared roasting pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Cover the meat with two layers of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes. Remove kitchen twine before slicing and serving.

AWESOME SAUSAGE, APPLE AND CRANBERRY STUFFING
This Thanksgiving stuffing is fantastic! It is very flavorful and fresh-tasting. This recipe will stuff a 10-pound turkey (which serves six) plus extra. I replaced the usual pork sausage with much healthier turkey sausage. Other dried fruits may also be used in place of cranberries.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Divide bread cubes between 2 rimmed baking sheets, spread in a single layer, and toast until crisp and golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature; transfer to a large heatproof bowl.
- Meanwhile, cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally and breaking into bite-size pieces, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer sausage to bowl with bread. Melt butter in skillet. Add celery and onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in apples and continue cooking until apples are crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in sage and broth, raise heat to medium-high, and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat; immediately pour over bread and sausage. Add cranberries and stir to thoroughly combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer dressing to prepared dish. Bake, uncovered, until top is crisp and golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your stuffing the best flavor. If possible, use organic produce and free-range poultry.
- Don't Overstuff the Bird: Overstuffing the bird can make it difficult to cook evenly. Aim for about 3/4 cup of stuffing per pound of bird.
- Cook the Stuffing Thoroughly: The stuffing should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature before serving.
- Let the Stuffing Rest: After cooking, let the stuffing rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the stuffing to set.
Conclusion:
Apple-cranberry-pecan stuffing is a delicious and festive side dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your stuffing turns out perfectly every time.
