CRANBERRY-WALNUT STUFFING

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
1 1/2 cups walnuts
8 ounces sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup dried cranberries
One 14-ounce package cornbread stuffing mix, such as Pepperidge Farm
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
2 cups turkey or chicken stock
1 large egg, lightly beaten

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.

Tips:

  • Use different types of bread: Use a variety of breads, such as white, wheat, sourdough, or cornbread, to give the stuffing a complex flavor and texture.
  • Toast the bread: Toasting the bread before adding it to the stuffing will help it absorb the other ingredients and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries add a tart and tangy flavor to the stuffing. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries that have been thawed.
  • Add some crunch: Toasted walnuts, pecans, or almonds add a nice crunch to the stuffing. You can also add chopped celery, carrots, or onions for a more savory flavor.
  • Don't overcook the stuffing: The stuffing should be cooked until it is heated through, but not overcooked. Overcooked stuffing will be dry and crumbly.
