Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons (1/2 cup or 1 stick) butter, unsalted
  • 2 medium onions, finely diced
  • 3 cups chopped celery, (about 6 large stalks)
  • 6 cups coarsely chopped leeks, (about 12)
  • 4 apples, peeled, cored and chopped
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage or Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 6 teaspoons poultry seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves, (about 4 sprigs)
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage leaves, (about 6 leaves)
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley leaves, (about 4 to 6 sprigs)
  • 2 cups dried cranberries
  • 1 box stuffing mix (not cornbread) (recommended: Pepperidge Farm)
  • 2 cups (1 pint) vegetable stock
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Melt the butter in a large skillet and saute the onions, celery, leeks, apples, and sausage, breaking up the sausage as you cook. After about 10 minutes, add the poultry seasoning, fresh herbs and dried cranberries. Add the dried stuffing mix and moisten with the vegetable stock. Season stuffing mix with salt and pepper, to taste. (I like the stuffing a little wetter - if you don't, just add less stock)

Place into a buttered casserole dish and bake for 45 minutes.

    This recipe was AWESOME!

    I track calories so this recipe has WAAAAY too much butter. I suggest using a quarter or less the suggested amount for anyone who's used to limiting their butter/oil intake.

    I never eat anything with that much butter in it - I found it greasy but of course I still liked it. It just doesn't really need all that butter. There are so many other great flavors.

    As mentioned it is a bit on the wet side but I didn't mind. Next time I will reduce the liquid a bit. I agree with the past reviews that the leeks sounded like a lot so I used 3 large ones. Also, I fed this recipe to 7 hungry adults and 4 kids and there was some left so like past reviews mentioned, the serving size is generous to say the least.

    Love that there are so many veggies and the amount of bread in it was fine with me. Great reviews from 3 generations of family at Christmas dinner. I will make this again next year (with less butter of course, lol.

    I made this stuffing for Thanksgiving and everyone thought it was the best stuffing they had ever had. Only problem was I had NO leftovers! Recipe is easy to follow - only thing i did different was added some extra fresh sage leaves as i looooove sage. Will def. make this recipe one of my holiday staples!
