Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Cut the sourdough bread into 1-inch cubes and allow it to dry out overnight or toast it in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the fennel sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula, for about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add olive oil. Once hot, add diced onion, celery, and carrot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

  4. 4

    Add Apples and Sage

    Stir in the diced Granny Smith apples and chopped fresh sage into the vegetable mixture. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the apples are tender.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted sourdough bread cubes, cooked sausage, and sautéed vegetable-apple mixture. Mix gently.

  2. 6

    Add Broth and Seasoning

    Pour the chicken broth over the mixture and season with salt and black pepper. Mix until the bread is moistened but not soggy.

Baking

    Transfer to Baking Dish

    Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased baking dish and spread it evenly.

  2. 8
