This classic apple and sausage stuffing recipe is a crowd-pleasing Thanksgiving side dish that’s loaded up with vegetables, fruit, and savory sage sausage. It’s hard to believe that the Thanksgiving holiday is just a few weeks away from now. While I enjoy turkey on Thanksgiving, it’s really the side dishes that I get excited about. This stuffing recipe is very similar to one that my mom used to make.

Serve with a Slow Cooker Turkey Breast or this Citrus or Herb Turkey with Lemon-Garlic Gravy with Make-Ahead Freezer Mashed Potatoes and  Roasted Green Beans and Mushrooms.

I’ll be doing something a little different this year for Thanksgiving. My son and I will be meeting my dad and stepmom in New Orleans for a few days. We have Thanksgiving dinner reservation in the French Quarter. It is sure to be great. This will be my first time eating out for Thanksgiving, instead of cooking. Who knows, we might just be starting a new tradition.

What are your Thanksgiving plans? I hope you’ll consider making this fantastic stuffing recipe a part of it!
