Pineapple Stuffing

This nostalgic stuffing is almost like dessert that can be enjoyed during the meal (and after if you want). We’ve added a little vanilla here since it pairs well with the pineapple and is especially great with ham, balancing the sweet with the savory.

Whether you're looking for a smaller recipe or just want an overall simplified method, this air fryer sausage stuffing checks all the boxes. We went super classic, using sliced white bread (that's even toasted in the air fryer!), celery, garlic and fresh herbs like sage and thyme. The entire dish comes together in less than hour, making this the perfect stuffing for a low-key Thanksgiving gathering.
