Things You’ll Need:

  • Groceries

  • Serving Bowls
  • Skillets
  • Slotted Spoons
  • 1 lb. sausage (preferably pork)
  • 8 slices wheat bread - dried and broken into small pieces
  • 3 ribs chopped celery
  • 1 large red onion, chopped
  • 3 tbsp. minced sage
  • 1/2 tsp. caraway seeds
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tart cooking apples - peeled, cored and cubed
  • 1/2 cup toasted and coarsely chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 lb. unsalted butter, unsalted
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • chicken broth
  • 1/2 c. half-and-half

Step1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add sausage. Cook sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until the sausage is no longer pink.
Step2
Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step3
Mix sausage, bread, celery, onion, sage, caraway seeds, salt, pepper, apples and walnuts in a large mixing bowl.
Step4
Pour melted butter and eggs over the mixture and toss gently.
Step5
Add the half-and-half slowly until mixture is very moist. You may not need to the half-and-half.
Step6
Use this mixture to stuff poultry or bake it, covered, in a 350-degree F oven for 45 minutes or until hot.

Tips & Warnings

  • For a lower-calorie version (though only modestly so), you can substitute chicken broth for the half-and-half.
  • Dry the bread cubes by leaving them out overnight or baking them in a 350-degree F oven for 20-30 minutes.
