Directions
Cornbread, Sausage, Apple, & Pecan Stuffing, Breads, fruit, nuts, and sausage combine to make a tasty stuffing for a 20-lb turkey or a casserole of dressing on the side If you’re using a smaller turkey, you can put excess stuffing in a smaller casserole dish and bake it while the turkey’s resting before carving Southern influenced, this has become our favorite dressing for Thanksgiving or any special occasion You could add other fruits (cranberry AND apple, for example) or different nuts or seasonings to suit your tastes Adapted from The Silver Palate Cookbook , Can I make this ahead? The day before? I have so many things that need to go into my ovens on the same day!, Is there a good substitute for the sausage?
