Vegan Sausage & Apple Stuffing

Thanksgiving/Plantsgiving/Friendsgiving is just around the corner! Do you have your menu set? I know my Thanksgiving plate is not complete without a generous serving of stuffing. My go to is this apple and sausage stuffing that is sure to please everyone at the table (even the vegan skeptics I promise).


If you give this recipe a try, please let me know how it turns out. I would love to see your full plantsgiving plate!

Vegan Apple & Sausage Stuffing

1

Vegan Sausage

I like the sweet italian beyond sausage, but you can use your preferred vegan sausage.

2

Vegetable Broth

I use the Better than Bouillon vegetable base mixed with water. The broth you use will impact the salt content, so that is why I have left the salt levels to taste.

3

Bread Choice

You can substitute the Italian bread for any vegan bread of your choice. You want around 10-12 cups of bread cubes. I also enjoy making this with a mix of pumpernickel and sourdough bread.

1

Preheat oven to 375 F. If using freshly cubed bread, dry out in the oven on a sheet tray while you prepare the rest of the ingredients, about 20 minutes. Preferably, cube your bread the day before making your stuffing and let sit out at room temperature overnight.

2

Heat butter over medium-low heat in a large stock pot. Add onions, celery, apples, and a generous pinch of salt and fresh ground pepper. Cook down until the onions are translucent and celery and apples are tender, stirring frequently.

While your vegetables cook down, cook your vegan sausage in a saute pan over medium heat until cooked through.

Add fresh herbs and garlic to your stock pot and stir to combine. Then, add in sausage, bread cubes, vegetable stock, & flax meal. If the stuffing does not seem fully saturated, add some more vegetable stock. Taste for salt & pepper. Transfer to a heat safe casserole dish (9 by 13 or other 3 qt sized dish). Bake at 375 F covered for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
