Ingredients
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion, small dice
- 3 ribs celery, small dice
- Kosher salt
- 1 pound spicy sausage, casing removed, broken into bite-size chunks
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed and finely diced
- 3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
- 10 sage leaves, finely chopped
- 3 sprigs rosemary, leaves finely chopped
- 10 cups stale cornbread, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 cups dried cranberries
- 3 to 4 cups chicken stock
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Coat a large saute pan with olive oil, add the onions and celery and saute over to medium heat. Season with salt and cook until the vegetables start to become soft and are very aromatic. Add the sausage and cook until the sausage begins to brown. Stir in the garlic and saute for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the walnuts, sage and rosemary and cook for another minute, then remove from heat.
In a large bowl mix together the cornbread, cranberries, and the sausage mixture. Add chicken stock and knead with your hands until the bread is very moist, actually wet. Taste to check for seasoning and season with salt, if needed and transfer to an ovenproof dish.
Bake the stuffing until it is hot all the way through and is crusty on top, about 30 to 35 minutes. MMMMM...stuffing!

This is the first stuffing not cooked in the bird that I have ever liked. Absolutely delicious. I used a sage breakfast sausage and white bread stuffing because that was all I had in my pantry. It's moist for once, has tons of flavor and was a real hit along side your recipe for roast chicken.
Super star doesn't begin to describe your talent with food.
Thanks, Anne.

YOU ALL HAVE TO TRY THIS STUFFING!
I used 2 boxes of cornbread stuffing mix and the consistency was perfect! I also used sweet italian sausage which paired well with the sweet cranberries. No matter what nuts or herbs you add, there is really no way to mess up this dish!
