Our Thanksgiving recipe parade continues here on the blog!
We started with Instant Pot Herbed Turkey Breast, then the Caramelized Onion Gravy, and now the stuffing…
When it comes to stuffing, I’m a fan of the sweet and savory combo. There is so much sage and rosemary and thyme and other great flavors on the Thanksgiving plate, and adding a touch of sweet helps balance it all out.
In this cornbread, we use ground sausage and some sweet apples (Golden Delicious or Honey Crisp is what I’d recommend!) Toss it all together with some cornbread stuffing and stuff the turkey, or bake it in a dish alongside the turkey.
(And yes, we have more new, delicious and simple Thanksgiving recipes coming your way!)
Enjoy!

you don’t include cornbread stuffing in your ingredients – what do you mean by that?
