DRIED CRANBERRY AND APPLE TURKEY STUFFING
A recipe of my girlfriends, made at her house for a Christmas dinner a few years back...an excellent recipe for a stuffing, that is prepared to cook inside the turkey. Note cooking time depends on how long the turkey is cooked, I imagine that you could bake this outside the turkey also too. This recipe can be doubled if desired.

CRANBERRY, WALNUT AND APPLE CIDAR TURKEY STUFFING
Steps:
- I mixed the bread and spices and the liquid and then added celery, onion, raisins, apple and cranberries. I also used water instead of cider. It made enough to feed 11, but didn't leave leftovers. Next time I would make two helpings, one for the oven and one for in the turkey.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly butter a 2- to 3-quart glass or ceramic baking dish.
- In a dry saute pan set over medium heat, toast the walnuts until lightly golden brown, about 5 minutes; cool and chop.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the celery, onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in the cranberries and cook to just slightly plump them, about 1 minute, and then remove from the heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the stuffing mix, sage, thyme and walnuts. Mix together the stock and egg in a large measuring cup, then add it to the mixing bowl along with the sausage-vegetable mixture. Add 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and stir gently to combine thoroughly.
- Transfer the stuffing mixture to the baking dish and bake until hot and golden brown on top, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve hot.
SAUSAGE, APPLE, AND WALNUT STUFFING
Steps:
- Coat a large saute pan, over medium heat, with olive oil and add the onions and celery. Season with salt and cook until the veggies start to become soft and are very aromatic. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sausage and cook until the sausage browns. Stir in the apples and apple cider and cook until the apples start to soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle in the sage leaves and the walnuts and turn off the heat.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add the diced bread and toss together. Pour in the chicken stock and knead with your hands until the bread is very moist, actually wet. Taste to check for seasoning and season with salt, if needed, (it does). Transfer to a large deep ovenproof dish (roughly 9 by 11 inches) and bake until it is hot all the way through and crusty on top.
- Remove from the oven and serve.
- MMMMM...stuffing!

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling in the kitchen.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh cranberries, apples, and walnuts will give your stuffing a delicious, vibrant taste.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When you're cooking the stuffing, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the stuffing from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
- Use a Thermometer: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the stuffing. The stuffing should reach an internal temperature of 165°F before it is safe to eat.
- Let the Stuffing Rest: After you've cooked the stuffing, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the stuffing to set and will make it easier to carve.
Conclusion:
Cranberry, walnut, and apple cider turkey stuffing is a delicious and festive dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this stuffing is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a stuffing recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
