Apple, Sausage and Sage Sourdough Stuffing

This rich, full-flavored stuffing is a show stealer, whether stuffed in a turkey or baked on its own. For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and substitute vegetarian sausage or a few cups cooked shiitake mushrooms for the meat sausage.

Method

Preheat oven to 300°F.


Spread bread cubes out on two large rimmed baking sheets and bake until dried but not browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.


Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking up chunks with a spoon, until browned, about 6 minutes.


Add apples, celery, onion and butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until apple and vegetables are softened, 8 to 10 minutes more. Add to toasted bread.


Stir in broth, sage, salt and pepper.


If using to stuff a turkey, cool completely before stuffing.


If baking separately, increase oven to 350°F and bake in a buttered casserole dish until lightly browned and crisp on top, 50 to 60 minutes.
