Coming from an Italian family, I like to use lots of herbs and seasonings in my cooking. This treasured stuffing features Parmesan cheese, apples and walnuts.Pamela Hewitt, Laguna Niguel, California Ingredients:
5 celery ribs, thinly sliced |
2 medium onions, chopped |
3 teaspoons rubbed sage |
2 teaspoons dried thyme |
1 cup butter, cubed |
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 pound johnsonville® mild ground italian sausage |
16 cups cubed day-old bread |
5 medium tart apples, peeled and thinly sliced |
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth |
1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, saute the celery, onions, sage and thyme in butter until vegetables are tender. Transfer to a very large bowl; cool slightly. Stir in the cheese, parsley, salt and pepper; set aside.
