This has got to be my favorite stuffing for a Thanksgiving turkey… I’ve been using it for over 20 years, and always get requests for the recipe. This recipe will give you enough stuffing for two good-sized birds, or you could stuff one bird, and put the rest into a baking pan, add a bit of chicken broth, cover, and put in the oven… some people don’t like stuffing in the bird, and this gives you the best of both worlds.
Ingredients

12 Tbspsweet butter, unsalted
-
2 1/2 cyellow onions, medium chopped

3granny smith apples, cored, and medium chopped

1 lbbreakfast sausage

How to Make Apple/Sausage Stuffing
- Transfer the onions to large mixing bowl, and set aside.
- Cook over high heat until lightly colored, but not mushy, about 4 or 5 minutes. Transfer to the mixing bowl with the onions.
- Crumble the breakfast sausage into the pan, and cook over medium heat until lightly browned.
- Chef’s Note: You can make this stuffing the day before, place it into the fridge, and then add to the bird before cooking.
However, if you’re making it on the same day, make sure that the stuffing is completely cool before stuffing the bird.
