Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 large onion , finely chopped
- 3 stalks celery & tops , finely chopped
- 1 lb bulk pork sausage
- 1 (16 ounce) package seasoned bread stuffing mix
- 1 cup packed coarsely chopped dried apple

- 1 1/2-2 cups turkey broth or 1 1/2-2 cups chicken broth , as needed

Directions
-
In a big skillet, heat oil over medium heat; add in onion and celery; cook, uncovered, stirring often, until the veggies are softened, about 3 minutes.
-
Add in sausage; cook, stirring often to break up the sausage with a spoon, until the sausage is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
-
Scrape the sausage mixture into a big bowl; add in the stuffing mix, dried apples, melted butter, parsley, and sage.
-
Toss, gradually adding about 1 ½ cups broth, until the stuffing is evenly moistened but not soggy.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Transfer to a lightly buttered casserole dish; drizzle with ½ cup broth.
-
Cover and bake at 350° for about 30 minutes; if you like crusty stuffing, uncover the last 15 minutes of baking.
