Categories: Pork, Side Dish, Stuffing Dressing

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 large onion , finely chopped
• 3 stalks celery & tops , finely chopped
• 1 lb bulk pork sausage
• 1 (16 ounce) package seasoned bread stuffing mix
• 1 cup packed coarsely chopped dried apple
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
• 1 1/2-2 cups turkey broth or 1 1/2-2 cups chicken broth , as needed
• salt
• fresh ground black pepper

Directions

1. In a big skillet, heat oil over medium heat; add in onion and celery; cook, uncovered, stirring often, until the veggies are softened, about 3 minutes.

2. Add in sausage; cook, stirring often to break up the sausage with a spoon, until the sausage is cooked through, about 10 minutes.

3. Scrape the sausage mixture into a big bowl; add in the stuffing mix, dried apples, melted butter, parsley, and sage.

4. Toss, gradually adding about 1 ½ cups broth, until the stuffing is evenly moistened but not soggy.

5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Transfer to a lightly buttered casserole dish; drizzle with ½ cup broth.

7. Cover and bake at 350° for about 30 minutes; if you like crusty stuffing, uncover the last 15 minutes of baking.
