SAUSAGE-APPLE STUFFING



Sausage-Apple Stuffing image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 2h10m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 stick unsalted butter, plus more for tasting
6 medium firm apples (such as Macoun or Braeburn), peeled and cut into large cubes
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
12 slices white sandwich bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 pound spicy Italian sausage, casings removed, broken into bite-size pieces
10 sage leaves, cut into thin strips
2 tablespoons fresh thyme
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
4 leeks (white and light green parts only), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
6 stalks celery, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
1 pound small parsnips, peeled, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
1 cup low-sodium chicken stock

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it melts and starts to brown; add the apples, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring, until slightly tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in the honey and vinegar, then transfer to a large bowl to cool.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat. Add the bread cubes and toss to coat, then transfer to one side of a large rimmed baking sheet; add the sausage to the other side. Bake until the sausage is cooked through and the bread is toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the sausage and bread to the bowl with the apples; add the sage, thyme and rosemary.
  • Heat another 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add half each of the leeks, celery and parsnips, and 2 tablespoons water; season with salt and pepper. Cook until the vegetables are translucent, about 8 minutes, then transfer to the bowl with the sausage-apple mixture. Add the remaining leeks, celery and parsnips, and 2 tablespoons water to the skillet, season with salt and pepper and cook about 8 minutes; transfer to the bowl and toss. Warm a spoonful of the stuffing in the skillet with a touch of butter and taste the seasoning; adjust as needed. (It's so important to taste your stuffing while it's hot to get a sense of the seasonings and flavors.) Add the chicken stock to the bowl and toss to moisten all of the ingredients.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Brush a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter. Transfer the stuffing mixture to the dish and dot with the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Cover with aluminum foil and bake 40 minutes, then uncover and continue baking until golden brown, about 40 more minutes.

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.

RYE BREAD STUFFING



Rye Bread Stuffing image

The original version of this recipe comes from the Dec/Jan 1997 issue of Taste Of Home magazine. I have since added the sage flavored sausage, and will either skip the mixed nuts or add only pecans. I get wonderful compliments on this stuffing every time i serve it, and the best compliments are when i'm asked to share the recipe or bring the stuffing to the next holiday. Be sure to use 3/4 light rye to 1/4 dark rye, or substitute all light rye, so the rye doesn't overpower. In this combination the flavor is not too strong, just enough that friends and family recognize it as something extra special you've done with your dressing. We've also been successful making this recipe gluten free by using gluten free white bread, broth and the regular flavor of Jimmy Dean Sausage.

SPICED APPLE SAUSAGE STUFFING



Spiced Apple Sausage Stuffing image

The bread is cooked like a savory French toast, giving you a stuffing base that's both crisp and custardy. You can call it stuffing or you can call it dressing, but whatever you call it, it's one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving dinner.

Provided by Stephanie Izard

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon garam masala, plus a pinch for the apples
6 cups day-old sourdough bread, cubed
2 apples, Honey Crisp, Pink Lady, or Gala
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 bulb fennel
1 Spanish onion
2 tablespoons Chopped tarragon, plus additional to garnish
Salt to taste
1/2 pound sausage, breakfast or sweet Italian
1/2 cup toasted pistachios, crushed

Steps:

  • For the French toast batter: In a bowl, whisk buttermilk, heavy cream, eggs, and garam masala. Pour over bread cubes, toss, and let rest so the bread can absorb all of the liquid. For the stuffing: Peel, core, and evenly slice the apples. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over high heat; add the apples, turn the heat to medium, and cook for 5 minutes. While the apples are cooking, core and thinly slice the fennel and onions so they are the same size. Season apples with a pinch of garam masala, a pinch of salt, then toss, remove from skillet and set aside.
  • Add 1 tablespoon butter to the same skillet and add the fennel and onions, along with the tarragon and a pinch of salt. Cook until just tender, 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage and break it up. After a minute or two, flip to brown on the other side. Remove and set aside. Over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet and add half of the bread/French toast mixture in an even layer. Add a pinch of salt and continue cooking until the bread is brown and caramelized in parts; set the browned bread aside. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread/French toast mixture. Add all of the bread to a serving bowl along with the apples, fennel, onion, and sausage. Toss, then top with the tarragon and pistachios, and serve.

Tips:

  • To make the best sausage apple and rye bread stuffing, use a variety of sausage, such as Italian sausage, breakfast sausage, or chorizo.
  • Use a variety of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn, for a complex flavor.
  • Use fresh, high-quality rye bread. Stale bread will not absorb the flavors of the stuffing as well.
  • Season the stuffing liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as sage, thyme, or rosemary.
  • If you want a moist stuffing, add a little chicken broth or apple cider to the mixture.
  • Bake the stuffing in a covered dish for about 30 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through and the stuffing is heated through.
  • Serve the stuffing immediately with your favorite holiday dishes.

Conclusion:

Sausage apple and rye bread stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any holiday meal. With its savory sausage, sweet apples, and hearty rye bread, this stuffing is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
