Sausage, Apple, and Pecan Stuffing

 Stuffing is one of those holiday sides where opinion and regionality makes a huge difference. Here in the office we had calls for egg-based stuffing, oyster stuffing, cornbread stuffing, the list goes on and on. We learned that everyone had their own favorite stuffing and preparation methods but when it came down to it we all agreed we wanted a stuffing we didn’t have to spend an hour prepping. This Suvie stuffing gets its savory flavor from Italian sausage, a slight tang from green apple and a crunch from chopped pecans. It’s meant to be served with gravy, mashed potatoes or creamed spinach as its texture will balance out the smooth creaminess of many dishes on the Thanksgiving table. This recipe can be cooked at the same time as the Wild Rice Pilaf, the Creamed Spinach and Kale, or Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake.
