Ingredients
  • 1 pound mild Italian sausage
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or pecan oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 12 ounces dairy-free herb-seasoned cubed stuffing
  • 2 cups tart apples, chopped
  • 1½ cups pecan halves
  • 1 to 1½ cups chicken broth
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a large casserole dish or 9x13-inch pan.
  2. In a large skillet, brown the sausage, breaking it into crumbles. Drain the sausage on paper towels and discard any excess grease.
  3. Heat the olive or pecan oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and garlic and saute for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the onions starting to soften and are fragrant.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the sausage, onion mixture, stuffing cubes, apples, and pecans.
  5. Add 1 cup of broth and stir to combine. If the stuffing mixture is too dry, add up to ½ cup of additional broth, but be careful not to add too much liquid. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
  6. Transfer the stuffing to your prepared baking dish and cover with foil.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
