Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 lb. Italian sausage casings removed
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 stalks celery thinly sliced
  • 1/2 yellow onion chopped
  • 1 tart apple such as Granny Smith, cored and chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 3 cups cubed toasted bread or dry stuffing mix

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a large baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, crumbling with a spoon. Once sausage begins to brown, add butter, celery, onion, apple, sage, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat. Stir in broth and egg. Add stuffing mix and stir to combine.
  4. Pour into prepared baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered until crisp, 15 to 20 minutes more.
  5. Enjoy!
