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.

Make extra-it's that good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Simple and delicious, this stuffing went over well with everybody. We ran out and I ended up making a second batch for my... leftovers. Save yourself the trouble and make a double batch. You won't be disappointed.Read more

Yummy in the Tummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Wowy wow wow wow. I made this recipe for the first time this past Christmas for my annual Christmas party. I usually make the... boxed stuff and wanted to make some real stuffing this year. Needless to say, it was a hit. Everyone loved it and wanted the recipe (which I wouldn't divulge... hey, this is MY find!), and I will be making it every year from now on. It was so good that my husband, who doesn't usually like stuffing, loved it. And even though it made a TON, is was SOOO good that we both ate it every day after the party until it was gone, and we don't usually like leftovers. This recipe is DA BOMB! Its full of flavor and just fills your house with an amazing smell. I'm making some today! :) Read more

Like my mom's stuffing with a twist!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love my mom' s sausage stuffing but this recipe turned it up a notch. I love the addition of apples and cranberries. I,... also like some reviewers, cut it in half and it was still tons of stuffing. I loved it!Read more

Excellent

This recipe was simple and very delicious. I chose not to use the leeks and it turned out fabulous.
