Ingredients
- 3 ¾ cups cubed white bread
- 1 ½ cups cubed whole wheat bread
- 1 pound ground turkey sausage
- 1 cup chopped onion
- ¾ cup chopped celery
- 2 ½ teaspoons dried sage
- 1 ½ teaspoons dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 Golden Delicious apple cored and chopped
- ¾ cup dried cranberries
- ⅓ cup minced fresh parsley
- 1 cooked turkey liver finely chopped
- ¾ cup turkey stock
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- To prepare the delicious Sausage, Apple, and Cranberry Stuffing, start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Then, place a delightful combination of white and whole wheat bread cubes on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Toast them to perfection for approximately 5 to 7 minutes in the preheated oven. Once evenly toasted, transfer the aromatic bread cubes into a spacious bowl.
- In a large skillet placed over medium heat, the sausage and onions are cooked. They are stirred and broken up to achieve a delectable shade of brown, which takes approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Now is the opportune moment to introduce an exquisite medley of flavors. The celery, sage, rosemary, and thyme are added to the same skillet and then cooked while being continuously stirred until their delightful flavors meld together perfectly. This harmonious mingling typically takes around 2 minutes.
- The savory sausage mixture should be poured over the toasted bread in the bowl, creating an irresistible combination. For an elevated burst of flavors, incorporate finely chopped apple, dried cranberries, parsley, and liver into the mix. To ensure optimal taste infusion, generously drizzle the stuffing with delectable turkey stock and melted butter. Finally, gently mix everything together to promote thorough incorporation.
