AWESOME SAUSAGE, APPLE AND CRANBERRY STUFFING



Awesome Sausage, Apple and Cranberry Stuffing image

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.

One of the BEST Southern Cornbread Dressing Recipes for the holidays! Loaded with sausage, apples and cranberries, this dressing is moist and full of flavor.

Provided by Stacey | SouthernDiscourse.com

Categories     Main Course     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 6.5 oz yellow cornbread mix packages
buttermilk as directed
1 Tbsp canola oil
1 lb ground sausage, (browned)
1 medium honeycrisp apple, (chopped)
1 medium granny smith apple, (chopped)
1 C dried cranberries
1/2 C diced yellow onion
1/2 C diced celery
1 10 3/4 oz can cream of chicken soup
1 14 oz can chicken broth
1 stick butter, (room temperature)
2 large eggs, (room temperature, beaten)
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 ° Fahrenheit. Add 1 Tbsp oil to your skillet. Place in oven while it is preheating.
  • Prepare cornbread in a mixing bowl as instructed on mix packages. Use buttermilk as a substitute for the water or milk designated on the mix. Use the same measurement for the buttermilk as designated on the mix for the other liquids.
  • Stir apples, cranberries, browned sausage, celery, and onion into the cornbread batter.
  • Pour cornbread batter into heated skillet. Bake for the time designated on the mix package. You may have to bake a few minutes longer to compensate for the moisture the apples release into the cornbread as it bakes.
  • Remove cornbread from oven after baking. Allow to cool, but not completely. Turn oven temperature down to 350 degrees.
  • While cornbread is still warm, remove from skillet and break into pieces in large mixing bowl. Add butter and mix together, breaking down the cornbread.
  • Add soup, eggs and seasonings to cornbread mixture. Mix ingredients together until all are well-incorporated. Stir in just enough broth so that the cornbread mixture looks almost like a batter again (don't make it overly wet), about half the can.
  • Spoon cornbread dressing into 9x13 casserole dish. Bake at 350 ° Fahrenheit for 30- 40 minutes or until dressing is golden brown and set in the middle.

3 cups sliced leeks, white and pale-green parts only, cleaned well (about 2 large leeks)
2 Granny Smith apples, cored and chopped
1 cup chopped celery with leaves
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
