Ingredients
- 6 cups cubed prepared cornbread
- 6 cups cubed baguette
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound bulk spicy Italian sausage
- 2 cups sliced leeks
- 2 cups cubed carrot
- 2 cups cubed celery
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 12 fresh sage leaves, chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cups turkey stock
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 tablespoons butter, for the baking pans
- 1 large egg, whisked with 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Divide the cubed bread between 2 baking sheets and bake until crispy and golden brown, about 8 minutes.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the sausage, stirring and breaking up the meat, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes; remove to a plate using a slotted spoon. Lower the heat to medium and add the leeks, carrots, celery, garlic and sage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Combine the toasted bread, sausage and vegetables in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together the stock and apple cider, then add it to the bread mixture. Mix to combine.
- Grease two 9-inch square baking pans with the butter. Divide the stuffing between the baking pans and brush with the egg wash. Bake until the top is crispy and the stuffing is hot through the center, 35 to 45 minutes.

Reviews
Made this I think two years ago and I had made both the corn bread and French bread from scratch. The stuffing was a massive hit! I’ll be making it this week coming for Thanksgiving and I can’t wait to dig in!
I Added craisins and subbed the apple juice for the orange juice.
This stuffing was amazing. I can’t wait to make it again!
The best stuffing I’ve ever had!
This was a big hit! Definitely my go-to stuffing for the holidays from now on.
Very good and a big hit at Thanksgiving dinner!
