Ingredients

  • 16 oz. bread cubes either buy a bag or cube yourself
  • 6 T. I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® divided
  • 1 lb. sweet Italian sausage
  • 2 large shallots minced
  • 2 apples peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 4 ribs of celery chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 T. sage chopped
  • 1/4 c. parsley chopped
  • 1/3 c. walnuts toasted and chopped
  • 1 t. black pepper
  • 3 c. chicken stock

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Place the bread cubes in a large bowl and set aside.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the sweet sausage and saute for 6-8 minutes or until it is no longer pink. Remove the sausage from the pan and place it in the bowl with the bread cubes.
  • Melt another 2 tablespoons of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® in the same skillet over medium heat. Add in the shallots, apples, celery, garlic, and sage. Saute for 5 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften.
  • Stir in the parsley and walnuts and cook for an additional minute. Sprinkle with black pepper and pour in the chicken stock. Bring to a boil and then pour over top of the sausage and bread cubes.
  • Mix the stuffing together until it is moistened. Scoop the stuffing into a buttered 9 x 13 baking dish.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and mix the stuffing. Melt the remaining I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® and drizzle over top of the stuffing. Cook for 20-25 more minutes or until the top is golden brown.
  • Serve hot.
