PRUNE AND SAUSAGE STUFFING
The added step of drying the bread in the oven (rather than just using stale bread) allows the cubes to soak up even more of the fruit-infused chicken stock, as well as the flavors from the greens and sausage.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Bake bread on a baking sheet in a single layer until dried but not browned, about 15 minutes. Remove bread, and let cool. Raise oven temperature to 350 degrees.
- Bring stock to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Add prunes, and let soak for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook greens until tender, about 10 minutes, and transfer to a plate. Let cool. Wipe out skillet.
- Heat remaining tablespoon oil in skillet over medium heat. Brown sausage, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl using a slotted spoon. Add more oil to skillet if needed, and cook celery, carrots, and onions until tender, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Drain prunes, reserving poaching liquid. Add prunes, bread, greens, and vegetable mixture to bowl with sausage. Gradually add reserved poaching liquid (about 2 1/2 cups), stirring to combine. Stir in parsley and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide stuffing between two 9-by-13-inch baking dishes. Dot tops with butter. Bake until browned, about 45 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spread bread cubes on one or more baking sheets and toast in oven until dry and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer bread to a very large mixing bowl and set aside.
- While bread is toasting, put prunes in a small saucepan, cover with water, bring to a simmer and cook about 10 minutes, until tender. Drain and chop prunes in a food processor or by hand. Fold prunes into the bread cubes.
- Crumble sausage into a large, heavy skillet and saute, stirring with a fork, until cooked through and browned. Drain well of fat and add to the bread cube mixture. Discard the fat.
- Add the butter to the skillet and saute the celery, onion and apples over medium-high heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Add sage, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir in the stock.
- Add the contents of the skillet to the bread mixture and toss to combine all ingredients. Adjust seasonings and, if necessary, add more stock. The bread in the stuffing mixture should be just moist, neither crunchy nor sodden. Let stuffing cool and refrigerate if not using immediately. The turkey should be stuffed just before roasting. Any excess stuffing can be baked in a covered casserole during the final half hour the turkey is roasting.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh apples and prunes will give your stuffing the best flavor. If you can't find fresh apples, you can use frozen or dried apples, but be sure to rehydrate them before using.
- Don't overcook the sausage: Sausage is best when it is cooked through but still juicy. Overcooking it will make it dry and tough.
- Season the stuffing to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add other herbs and vegetables, such as celery, onion, or carrots.
- Stuff the turkey loosely: Don't pack the stuffing too tightly, or it will be dense and dry. Leave some room for the stuffing to expand as it cooks.
- Roast the turkey at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat. Be sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure that the turkey is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
Apple prune and sausage stuffing is a delicious and festive dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. By following these tips, you can make sure that your stuffing turns out perfectly every time. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to enjoy a delicious holiday meal!
