The sweet apple and rich sausage flavor in this stuffing is simple enough not to overpower for Thanksgiving turkey but also works well with chicken, pork chops and even fish. Ready in just 30 minutes and serving a crowd of 12, you will have plenty of time to get out of the kitchen and enjoy your guests. Save even more time and make this one ahead. Stop cooking just before the final step; cool your mixture and store covered in the refrigerator overnight. When you are ready to serve simply reheat the mixture, adding the broth until moist and hot.
