4 teaspoons poultry seasoning |
2 cups chopped celery |

2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed |
1 1/3 cups chicken stock |

2. Into the same pan melt the butter. Add the leeks, apples, celery and poultry seasoning. Saute until softened, about 10 minute Add the rosemary, dried cranberries and cooked sausage. Mix all with the dried bread cubes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Moisten with the chicken stock.
