Zomg.
I honestly had no idea how simple stuffing was. There are very few ingredients involved, and it doesn’t take all day to cook. I really wanted a different flavor profile, and I remembered my mom talking animatedly about a cranberry turkey breast or something that she had made the previous year that everyone just raved about. I thought that was a great place to start: cranberries. Cranberries are a perfect winter flavor!
With cranberries in mind, I moved forward and started adding some crumbly sausage, Granny Smith apples, toasted walnuts, and of course, a heaping pile of parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
You have the song stuck in your head now too, eh? The struggle is real.
The result is a stuffing that is so savory, yet just a tiny bit sweet, that you’re going to want to skip the turkey all together. More room on your plate for this cranberry sausage stuffing, yo! But, if you find yourself with leftovers, use them to make this Turkey Casserole! Double awesome!
Get ready for the best holiday dinner ever with this cranberry sausage stuffing!

Perfect 8 am in search of stuffing recipe with sausage this year! Have you done this with any other sausage? I don’t think I can find sage sausage. …mild Italian maybe…
Karly says
I’ve only ever done it with sage sausage, which you should be able to find with other breakfast sausages. I usually find them in a roll!

I’ve never been a huge stuffing fan – it’s always been something that I put on my plate because I feel like I should, but I would totally eat this stuffing. It looks amazing and I can’t image anything with this ingredient list not tasting fantastic. Love!
