📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Generously butter a large 3 quart casserole dish. Pour stuffing cubes into a very large bowl. Set aside.
2
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chicken sausage; use a wooden spoon to break it up into smaller crumbles as it cooks until it loses its pink color (about ⏱️ 5 minutes). Transfer sausage and all pan drippings to the bowl with the stuffing cubes.
3
Melt the remaining butter in the same skillet. Add the chopped onion, apple, and celery. Sprinkle in about a half teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften (around ⏱️ 5 minutes).

Pour the chicken broth and chopped parsley into the skillet with the vegetables. Bring this mixture to a boil.

5
Carefully pour the hot vegetable and broth mixture over the stuffing cubes and sausage in your large bowl. Use a large spoon or spatula to gently toss everything together until the cubes are evenly moistened.
6
Next, mix in the toasted walnuts and the beaten eggs. Keep mixing until everything is well combined and the eggs act as a binder.

7
Transfer the stuffing mixture to your prepared casserole dish. Pack it in loosely; avoid pressing it down too hard to maintain a fluffy texture.
8
Bake uncovered for about ⏱️ 40 minutes, until the top forms a nice, light crust.
9
After ⏱️ 40 minutes, carefully remove from the oven. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of melted butter or turkey pan drippings over the top.
10
Return the dish to the oven and bake for about 20 more minutes, until the top is beautifully crisp and golden brown. Let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your amazing creation!
