Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Skin, deseed, and dice the butternut squash, then add it to a large pot of water to boil. Cook to readiness.
  3. Meanwhile in a large skillet, saute the onions and celery in the olive oil until the vegetables become translucent. Remove vegetables into a large bowl, then evenly brown pork sausage in the remaining oil. Season with sage, thyme, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
  4. In another saute pan, cook the apples, cranberries, cooked butternut squash, nutmeg, cinnamon, and granulated sugar until the apples become soft.
  5. Combine the mixture in the large bowl with the sauteed vegetables, seasoned pork, and Mrs. Cubbison's Stuffing Mix. Add the parsley, chicken broth, and eggs. Mix until it is well combined and the stuffing is moist.
