Sausage, Apple and Pecan Dressing
Serve 8
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound sweet Italian sausage (about 2 links), casings removed and crumbled
1 onion, finely chopped
3 ribs celery, finely chopped
1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
4 leaves fresh sage, finely sliced
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
½ cup currants (or raisins)
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
12 cups stale Italian bread cubes, crust removed and cut into 1-inch cubes, about 1½ pounds of bread (cut them into cubes and leave them out over night on a cookie sheet, or toast them in a 325º F oven for about 8 to 10 minutes)
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups chicken stock (or turkey stock)
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small cubes
Directions:
1. Pre-heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and pre-heat the oven to 375º F.
2. Add the olive oil and sausage and brown the sausage. Cook until the sausage has rendered out some of its fat and is starting to brown. Lower the heat to medium, add the onion, celery and garlic and sauté until the onion is tender, but not brown – about 10 minutes. Add the sage and parsley and cook for a minute longer.
3. Combine the apples, currants, pecans, and bread cubes to a large bowl. Add the sausage and vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Moisten the dressing with the chicken stock until the bread cubes are re-hydrated (you may not use it all) and toss everything together well. Transfer the mixture to whatever vessel you choose to bake it in – a Dutch oven or a ceramic baker. Dot the top with the butter cubes and cover with foil or a lid.
4. Bake covered for 30 minutes. Then, remove the cover and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until the top is nicely browned.

I love this recipe and I also love the wooden spoon/spatula you are using. Is that available at QVC as well?
I loved this. I was wondering if there's a chance you'd do a video on how to cook a turkey breast – only the breast – in the oven so that it comes out moist and tender. I'd love to learn how to do that. Thank you.
Bake in a bundt pan for a nice look on the table. Or divide into muffin tins for easy serving size. I also use Italian flavored ground turkey or chicken for a more healthy stuffing.
Good technique and looks yummy. No raisins please 🙂
What brand of Italian Bread? I have ORoweat Italian bread and johnsonville HOT sausage. Will that do? Also in the video there are bread with crumbs on but the recipe below the video asks to remove crusts.
The best stuffing should cook inside the turkey, it just taste so good.
I spread mine on a pan so it will turn out crispy. Cooking it like that would be more steaming and wouldn't be as crispy as I would like.
