sausage apple & mushroom stuffing
(1 rating)
My husband wanted a bit of a different spin on the Holiday Stuffing, so I combined our two favorites Herb Stuffing & Corn Bread, then added Apples, Mushrooms & Sage Sausage along with the other herbs & spices, & it made a wonderful Stuffing. Using the liquids that accumulated from the Grilled Smoked Citrus Turkey, really boosted the flavors to a new level. It was one great stuffing idea that pleased everyone, we loved it with the meaty giblet gravy & Homemade Orange Cranberry Sauce. Topping it off with Homemade Rolls & the Cheesy Green Bean Casserole made this a great Thanksgiving Meal.

How To Make sausage apple & mushroom stuffing

2Cook sausage in large skillet over medium high heat, until no pink remains, remove sausage but leave fat, if you used a GOOD quality sausage, OTHERWISE YOU MAY NEED TO DRAIN SOME OF THE FAT, crumble sausage into smaller pieces and set aside till needed.
