Aunt Raffys Turkey Stuffing
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple, cored and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 medium Red Delicious apple, cored and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 (6-ounce) bag dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
- 1 pound sweet Italian turkey sausages, casings removed
- 1 (7.25-ounce) jar steamed whole chestnuts, coarsely chopped
- 8 ounces day-old cornbread or bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup canned chicken broth
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium pot, cook the apples, onion, oil, and 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-low heat until the apples soften, about 10 minutes.
- Add the cranberries and wine and simmer until the wine evaporates and the cranberries are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the salt and pepper.
- Let cool.
- In a large, heavy saute pan, cook the sausages over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, breaking them up with a wooden spoon, about 8 minutes.
- Lightly coat an 8 1/2-inch square baking dish with 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
- In a medium bowl, combine the apple mixture, sausage, chestnuts, and cornbread.
- Gently stir in the broth and 3/4 cup of the Parmesan.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer to the baking dish and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of Parmesan.
- Bake until the top is golden brown and the stuffing is heated through, about 45 minutes.
