Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Sausage, Apple, and Cranberry Stuffing.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients and preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Next, take your cubed white and whole wheat bread and spread it out in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
Step 3
Pop the baking sheet into the oven and toast the bread for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until it turns a lovely golden brown.
Step 4
Once toasted, transfer the bread to a large mixing bowl, letting that warm, toasty aroma fill your kitchen.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat things up by cooking the ground turkey sausage along with the chopped onion over medium heat.
Step 6
As the sausage browns, break it up with a spatula, which should take around 6 to 8 minutes.
Step 7
After the sausage is nicely browned, toss in the chopped celery, dried sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Step 8
Let this mixture cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing those delightful flavors to meld together beautifully.
Step 9
Now, it’s time to bring everything together! Pour the savory sausage mixture over the toasted bread in your mixing bowl.
Step 10
Add in the chopped apple for a touch of sweetness, the dried cranberries for a burst of flavor, minced parsley for freshness, and the chopped turkey liver for richness.
Step 11
Drizzle everything with turkey stock and melted butter, then gently mix it all together until well combined.
Step 12
Before you get ready to stuff your turkey, let the stuffing cool completely.
Step 13
This step is essential for achieving the perfect texture and flavor.
Step 14
Once cooled, you’ll have a delicious stuffing ready to bring your turkey to life! Enjoy the process and the wonderful aromas that fill your kitchen as you prepare this delightful dish.
