Thanksgiving Dressing
 
Ingredients
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 4 celery stalks, sliced
  • 2 small apples, diced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 pound sausage (I used our mild breakfast sausage)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese
  • One medium loaf of day old French bread, cubed
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Melt the butter in a large pan. Add the onions, celery, and apples to the melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until the celery and onion are translucent, about five minutes. Mix in sage and thyme and then remove from the heat.
  3. In a separate pan, cook the sausage, breaking it up until no longer pink. Remove from the heat.
  4. In a large bowl, coat the bread with the eggs. Mix in both the meat and the veggie butter mixture, then mix in the cheese.
  5. Pour in the stuffing mixture into a greased 9x13 pan and pour the chicken stock over it.
  6. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 25 to 30 minutes longer.
  7. (Can be prepared the day before and cooked the day of the big meal.)
