  • 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

  1. Step 1

    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.

  2. Step 2

    Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  3. Step 3

    Mix sausage, bread, celery, onion, sage, caraway seeds, salt, pepper, apples and walnuts in a large mixing bowl.

  4. Step 4

    Pour melted butter and eggs over the mixture and toss gently.

  5. Step 5

    Add the half-and-half slowly until mixture is very moist. You may not need to the half-and-half.

  6. Step 6

    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.
