Gluten-Free Apple Sausage Stuffing

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 20 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 50 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb grass-fed sausage
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 2 small apples, roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup organic vegetable broth (I like my stuffing a little dry; add up to ½ cup broth total to give it more moisture if you like!)
  • 1 t extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 T minced garlic
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries
  • ½ t thyme
  • ½ t rosemary
  • ¼ t tarragon
  • ¼ t sage
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare an 8x8- inch baking dish and set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add extra virgin olive oil, sausage, celery and garlic to the skillet. With a spoon, break up the sausage, dispersing it throughout the celery and garlic.
  • Continue breaking up the sausage with a spoon as it cooks another 5-7 minutes until brown. Drain off any liquid or fat from the skillet to prevent mixture from becoming soggy.
  • Turn off the heat and add thyme, rosemary, tarragon, sage, salt and pepper, apples, cranberries and broth. Stir to combine.
  • Transfer the stuffing from the skillet to the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour.
  • Afterwards, remove foil and bake another 15 minutes until tender and crispy.
  • Remove from the oven, top with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
