Time 1h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (9x9 inch) pan cornbread, cut into small cubes
1 (14 ounce) package dry bread stuffing mix
8 ounces pork sausage links, finely chopped
1 pound bulk pork sausage
½ pound bacon slices, chopped
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
1 (16 ounce) package mushrooms, sliced
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and chopped
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon dried sage leaves, or amount to taste
2 (13.75 ounce) cans chicken broth, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Place the cubed cornbread and bread stuffing mix into a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Place the chopped sausage links and ground sausage in a skillet; cook and stir over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Drain, and place sausage into a bowl. Using the same skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until evenly browned. Drain bacon on paper towels. Drain excess bacon fat from the skillet. Stir the cooked sausage and bacon into the cornbread mixture.
  • Using the same skillet, cook the celery and onion over medium heat until transparent and tender, about 5 minutes. Stir into the cornbread mixture.
  • Stir the mushrooms, parsley, and apples into the cornbread mixture. Season with salt, pepper, and sage. Pour enough chicken broth over the cornbread mixture to moisten thoroughly, and toss to distribute evenly. Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in preheated oven until top is toasted and the center is firm, about 45 minutes.

Yield Makes enough stuffing for a 12- to 15-pound turkey

Number Of Ingredients 9

Cornbread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 pound sweet Italian sausage
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
4 medium red onions, finely chopped
8 celery stalks, finely chopped
4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
1 cup dried cranberries
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1/2 cup chopped fresh sage

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Place cornbread cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake until dry, about 20 minutes; set aside.
  • In a large saute pan over medium heat, cook sausage until it's no longer pink. Transfer to a small bowl; set aside.
  • Melt butter in the same saute pan. Add onion and celery, and cook over medium heat until translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Add apples and cranberries, stir to combine, and cook 5 minutes. Add half-and-half, and cook, stirring for 3 minutes. Add sage, and remove from heat. Transfer to a large bowl. Add cornbread and sausage; stir to combine. Let cool completely before stuffing the turkey, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your stuffing.
  • Don't overstuff your bird. This can make it difficult for the stuffing to cook evenly.
  • Bake the stuffing in a covered dish. This will help to keep it moist.
  • Let the stuffing cool slightly before serving. This will make it easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Cornbread apple and sausage stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for a holiday meal. With its combination of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors, this stuffing is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
