  • 1 T. finely chopped fresh thyme(1 t. dried)
  • 1 T. finely chopped fresh sage, (1 t. dried)
  • 1 T. finely chopped fresh parsley, (1 t. dried)
  • ½ c. butter(1 stick)
  • 1 c. finely chopped celery
  • 1 c. finely chopped red onion
  • 1 large Honeycrisp apple thinly sliced and diced, Granny Smith would work also
  • ½ lb. sage sausage, cooked, drained and crumbled
  • 3½ c. chicken broth* See Notes-- I like to use Better than Bouillon Roasted Chicken Base.
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Slice and dice celery, onion and apples.
  3. In a large bowl or pan, toss together stuffing, seasoning and cranberries(optional).
  4. In a skillet, cook sausage until crumbled and no longer pink. Place sausage in bowl with stuffing.
  5. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat; scrap up any sausage bits and flavorings left in the pan.
  6. Saute celery and onion, stirring until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
  7. Add vegetable mixture, apples and broth to stuffing mixture; toss to evenly distribute ingredients and to absorb the broth.
  8. Gently spoon stuffing into prepared(sprayed) pan and bake, covered with foil, for 30 minutes.
  9. Remove foil and bake for about 20-30 more minutes.
  10. Stuffing should be a light golden brown in color.
Notes
You can use turkey stock/broth in place of this, but you may need to season with a little bit more salt.
