Instructions
Making your own bread cubes
  1. Coarsely chop the loaf of bread into cubes and arrange on a sheet pan. Drizzle or spray with olive oil. Lightly sprinkle with salt and fresh ground pepper. Bake at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hours, or until bread is dried out. Allow to cool completely and store in a storage bag until ready to use. I usually do this the day before I make the stuffing so it’s ready to go.
Stuffing
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease or spray a large casserole dish. Chop the apples and onion. Pour your dried bread cubes into a large mixing bowl
  2. Melt the butter and olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Then, add the chopped onion, sage, thyme, salt and pepper to the pan. Cook onion over medium heat for 2 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped apples and parsley to the pan and cook for an additional 6 – 8 minutes over medium heat. Stirring. Add 1 cup of the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the pan.
  4. Add the apple mixture to the bowl of bread cubes and mix to combine. (Note: If you are adding the browned turkey sausage, add it now.)
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the remaining chicken broth and pour over the bread and apple mixture. Mix well, then pour the stuffing into your prepared casserole dish.
  6. Cover the dish with tin foil and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes. Carefully remove the tin foil and continue to bake for an additional 15 – 20 minutes. Once finished, cover with tin foil until ready to serve.
Recipe Notes

Optional: Add 12 oz. of Turkey Sausage – I highly recommend if you want to add more texture and flavor to your stuffing. That is how I make it on Thanksgiving day. I also add 1/8 – 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper while browning the turkey sausage to make it a little spicy!
