Celery Walnut Stuffing Food

APPLE WALNUT STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly butter a bundt pan.
• In a dry saute pan set over medium heat, toast the walnuts until light golden brown, about 5 minutes; cool and chop.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the celery, onion, apple and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes; remove from the heat.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the stuffing mix, sage, thyme and walnuts. Mix together the stock, apple butter and egg in a separate bowl, then add it to the mixing bowl along with the sausage-vegetable mixture. Add 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and stir gently to combine thoroughly.
• Transfer the stuffing mixture to the bundt pan and bake until hot and golden brown on top, 30 to 40 minutes. If the top starts to get too brown, cover with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes in the bundt pan, then unmold onto a serving platter.
• Combine the apples, apple cider, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, cloves and salt in a Dutch oven or large, heavy pot and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, partially covered, until the apples are very tender, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Puree the apple mixture using an immersion blender or in batches in a regular blender (be careful when blending hot liquids).
• Transfer the Dutch oven to the oven. Bake, uncovered, stirring every 20 minutes so that the bottom does not burn, until the mixture is very thick and a rich brown caramel color, about 3 hours. Let cool completely.

MUSHROOM AND WALNUT STUFFING

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add onions and celery; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft, 5 to 7 minutes; transfer to a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon oil, mushrooms, and sage to skillet; season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until mushrooms are browned, 5 minutes. Add wine and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon, until wine is almost evaporated. Transfer to bowl with vegetables; add walnuts, bread, and enough broth to moisten (stuffing should feel moist but not soggy). Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
• Add eggs to bread mixture and toss well to combine. Reserve 4 cups stuffing for turkey. Spoon remaining stuffing into a lightly oiled 2-quart baking dish. (To store, cover and refrigerate, up to 1 day.) Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with rack in upper third. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown on top, 30 minutes.

CELERY, APPLE AND WALNUT STUFFING

Steps:

• Soften the onions and the apples with the garlic, celery and thyme in four tablespoons butter.
• In a separate pan, brown the giblets in the remaining tablespoon butter. Remove the liver and add the stock. Simmer over low heat for 45 minutes, or until the heart and gizzard are tender. Reserve the cooking liquid. Dice the heart, gizzard and liver and set aside.
• Place the bread crumbs in a large bowl. Add the onion-celery mixture and the giblets. Add the walnuts, parsley and sage and add enough stock to moisten the stuffing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

SAUSAGE, APPLE, AND WALNUT STUFFING

Steps:

• Coat a large saute pan, over medium heat, with olive oil and add the onions and celery. Season with salt and cook until the veggies start to become soft and are very aromatic. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sausage and cook until the sausage browns. Stir in the apples and apple cider and cook until the apples start to soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle in the sage leaves and the walnuts and turn off the heat.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add the diced bread and toss together. Pour in the chicken stock and knead with your hands until the bread is very moist, actually wet. Taste to check for seasoning and season with salt, if needed, (it does). Transfer to a large deep ovenproof dish (roughly 9 by 11 inches) and bake until it is hot all the way through and crusty on top.
• Remove from the oven and serve.
