Ingredients
4 Honey crisp apple, Peel, core, and chop (about 3/4 cup)
1 Granny Smith apple, Peel, core, and chop (about 3/4 cup)
2 cups Pepperidge Farm® Herb Seasoned Stuffing
2 cups Pepperidge Farm® Cornbread Stuffing
6 tbl spoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan and topping
1 pound fresh breakfast or sage sausage, casing removed
1 medium onion, chopped
1 to 2 celery ribs with leaves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 eggs, beaten
Method/Directions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Put the stuffing cubes in a large bowl and set aside.
- Butter a 3-quart casserole dish.
- REMINDER: Chop up apple, onions, celery, and parsley before continuing
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the sausage and break up with a wooden spoon. Cook until it loses most of its pink color, but not so much that it's dry, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sausage and pan drippings to the stuffing cubes.
- Melt the remaining butter in the pan. Add the onion, apple, celery, and salt. Cook until the vegetables get soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the broth and parsley and bring to a boil.
- Pour the vegetable mixture over the stuffing cubes and toss until evenly moistened.
- Mix in eggs.
- Loosely pack the dressing in the prepared pan and cook uncovered until the top forms a crust, about 40 minutes.
TIP:
Put the dressing in the oven during the last hour of cooking the turkey.
About 20 minutes into cooking, Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of turkey pan drippings or melted butter over the top.
