Sausage, Apple & Cranberry Holiday Stuffing

Sausage, Apple & Cranberry Holiday Stuffing balances savory turkey sausage with sweet apples and tart cranberries, all woven through toasted breads and aromatic herbs. The mix of sage, rosemary, and thyme gives it classic holiday depth, while a touch of stock and butter keeps it tender inside with crisp edges. Serve it alongside roast turkey or pork for festive dinners or any cozy fall gathering.
