Leftovers? What leftovers? This sweet and savoury stuffing is the perfect complement to our honey and herb turkey. (And will disappear lightning-fast.)

Ingredients

  • 675 g unsliced loaf white bread , cut into 1-in. cubes
  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 375-g maple breakfast sausages , casings removed
  • 2 small onions , finely chopped
  • 3 celery stalks , finely chopped, about 1 1/2 cups
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 100-g pkgs peeled and roasted chestnuts
  • 1 cup no-salt chicken broth

Instructions

  • POSITION oven racks in top and bottom thirds of oven. Preheat to 350F. Arrange bread cubes in 1 layer on 2 large baking sheets. Toast in top and bottom thirds of oven, switching sheets halfway through and stirring occasionally, until golden and dry, 15 to 18 min. Transfer to a large bowl. Reduce heat to 325F.
  • HEAT a large pot over medium-high. Add oil, then sausage meat. Using a wooden spoon, break up meat until crumbly. Cook, stirring often, until no pink remains, 3 to 5 min. Reduce heat to medium. Add onions, celery, butter and salt. Cook, uncovered, stirring often, until onion is soft, about 5 min. Season with fresh pepper. Stir in toasted bread and chestnuts. Drizzle with broth, stirring to combine. Transfer to a large baking dish.
  • BAKE in bottom third of oven until hot, about 30 min.
