Apple Sausage Stuffing Recipe: A Savory Thanksgiving Favorite

Everyone has a favorite Thanksgiving side. Mine is stuffing! It might be the most carb heavy side of all, but it’s so savory and comforting. I can’t imagine our Thanksgiving dinner without this Apple Sausage Stuffing recipe. The apple and golden raisins keep it moist, while the sausage and sage give it extra flavor. Plus, you don’t have to stuff the turkey. Make it ahead of time and bake when you’re ready – because Thanksgiving should be all about keeping it easy.

Beyond The Stuffing: Tips For Keeping Thanksgiving Dinner Easy

So many cooks get nervous about cooking for guests. I always recommend that you do a test run before the big day. See if your new recipe is easy enough for Thanksgiving. A warming drawer, stacked foil pots and the microwave are all great ways to keep your food items warm. It’s hard to have everything ready at once, so make-ahead dishes like this sausage apple stuffing are great.

Plan ahead which items you’re going to make and see if you can delegate any tasks. I always try to ask for help when I’m in the kitchen. If I don’t get any help on the front-end, you better believe I’m asking for help with the dishes!
