This fruity stuffing is destined to become a Thanksgiving favorite. It's also one of the best ways to use up leftover, stale sourdough bread. But don't just save it for the holidays; you can definitely pair it with roasted turkey or chicken any time of year. It features a simple mixture of fresh apples (this is great to make after a trip to the orchard), dried raisins or cranberries, celery, onion, chicken seasoning, and canned chicken broth, many of which you may already have in your fridge or pantry. It's a special side that can be a part of any dinner party celebration.
