We’re down to a week before Thanksgiving. I’m not sure where this year has gone. It’s Thanksgiving y’all. Insert slight panic attack. I’d like to re-wind to spring but we all know that can’t happen. SO I guess I’ll get myself pulled together and start prepping for Thanksgiving. We all know that the Turkey is the main man of the big bust your pants open day but I’m all about that stuffing y’all. True story. Carbs have my heart. Always will.

This is a super simple yet flavorful stuffing recipe that compliments turkey nicely. Even better, it comes together quickly on the stove top and then you’ll just pop it into the oven to bake the half an hour away. Easy peasy, just the way we like our side dishes.

    Stuffing is by far and above the most important part of the Thanksgiving meal, as far as I’m concerned. In fact, I actually made TWO different kinds this year, because I couldn’t decide between bread and rice. (Yes, I have a stuffing problem. I’m okay with it.)
    Love the combo of apple and sausage you’ve used here. Nothing like that sweet and savoury combination.

    I love all the ingredients in this stuffing, and it’s so colorful too. I’d definitely be eating more of this than the turkey!

    What a fantastic looking stuffing! Stuffing is actually my favorite part of Thanksgiving and usually fill my plate with so much stuffing I’m pretty sure my brother thinks I’m trying to steal it all. I love the addition of sweet apples…yum!

    For me, the Thanksgiving feast is all about the stuffing, for sure! And I can never turn down a great bread stuffing that incorporates sausage. This looks great, Paula!
