PREPARATION

Chicken & Apple Sausage Stuffing

  1. Place the cubed bread on a baking tray and toast in the oven at 350°F until golden. Cool at room temperature.
  2. Place a large saucepan over medium high heat, and add the oil.
  3. Remove the sausage from the casing and fry it in oil, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon or heat proof rubber spatula. Do not drain.
  4. When the sausage is cooked, add the butter, onion, celery and garlic. Sweat until tender and season with the salt and pepper.
  5. Add the dried cherries, fresh herbs, mix well, remove from the heat & allow to cool.
  6. Place the toasted bread in a large bowl. Add the cooled mixture from the pan to the bread cubes and mix. Add the 2 eggs and mix again. Finally, mix in the chicken broth to moisten the mixture. 
  7. It may not require all the broth. The mixture should be softened but not overly loose. 
  8. Transfer the mixture to an ovenproof dish, cover with foil and bake at 375°F for 30 minutes. 
  9. Remove the foil, and continue to bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Enjoy!
