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!

I grew up thinking that nobody's stuffing could compete with my mom's stuffing, but man oh man, after having this one, I'll never think about another stuffing again. Dare I say, my mom's paled in comparison. The only thing I did differently was up the amount of herbs by using parsley, thyme, sage, and rosemary, but all that did was make it better. AMAZING. Do yourself a favor and make this. Shoot...now I'm craving it.

I made this, YOU CAN make this!!! It is so tasty and so easy to make. The prep work is the only hard part of this recipe. Everyone loved the depth of flavors and the crunch of the walnuts all at the same time. I did leave the cranberries out because my family isn't used to this many flavors at one time. I paired this with Cornish Hens with Pomegranate Molasses (also on this web site and the family loved Christmas dinner this year. I think that I will now be making this regularly for family dinners!!!!
