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

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.
