Sausage, Dried Fruit, and Apple Stuffing


Serves: 8
Total Calories: 319

Ingredients

8 cups cubed (1 inch) wheat free bread
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon dried thyme
salt and pepper to taste
1 pound spicy turkey sausage
1 large sweet onion diced (about 2 cups)
3 large cloves garlic minced
4 stalks celery chopped
1 teaspoon dried sage crumbled
1 Granny Smith apple peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 cup dried red cherries or cranberries
1/2 cup dried apricot quartered
1 1/2 cups low salt chicken broth

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toss bread cubes with 2 Tbsp. olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread in one layer on cookie sheet. Bake about 20 minutes until lightly toasted, shaking occasionally to toast on all sides. Remove from oven and set aside. Meanwhile, remove sausage from casing and break up into clumps. Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat and add sausage. Cook until all the pink is gone. Remove to a large mixing bowl. Pour off fat if there is any remaining in skillet. Add 1 Tbsp. olive oil, onion, garlic, celery, and sage to pan, and sauté over medium heat until wilted, about 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Once wilted, add to mixing bowl with sausage. Toss. Add in bread cubes, apple, cherries, and apricots. Toss. Oil a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with olive oil. Spoon in the stuffing, and drizzle with chicken broth. Bake until crusty and golden brown, about 1 hour, tossing once or twice.
