Cranberry Apple Sausage Stuffing with seasonal flavors.

For some the highlight of the Thanksgiving turkey dinner is not the turkey itself but the stuffing, also called dressing. We look forward to eating the leftover stuffing the day after Thanksgiving. Over the years our holiday favorite has been my Chestnut, Pear, and Wild Rice Stuffing but this year I decided to try something different. This Cranberry Apple Sausage Stuffing featured all the flavors of the season and it was a big hit on Thanksgiving Day.

Roast Turkey IS Not Just For Thanksgiving

While most of us are done with our turkey dinners here in the United States, Roast Turkey is the main dish for Christmas in many other parts of the world. Also there are those people out there who absolutely love roast turkey and relish an encore. Hence, I decided I should just go ahead and post this stuffing recipe anyway. I am sure some one will find it useful and it will be here for my own reference next year. 🙂

Preparing Ahead

You can cook this stuffing the day before Thanksgiving. Simply allow it to cool after transferring to the baking dish and then refrigerate. Only put it in the oven 30 minutes before you plan to serve dinner. The extra 10 minutes is to compensate for it being cold.

I adapted this delicious stuffing Ina Garten’s Sausage and Herb Stuffing. Do give it a try. You will not be disappointed.
