Fig, Cranberry and Walnut Sausage Stuffing
By: Ashley Dew
I absolutely adore stuffing/dressing. Was pure bread on it. It was always one of the highlights of Christmas and Thanksgiving meals. When I went gluten free I thought at first that those days were over but I was so wrong! There are so many wonderful gluten-free stuffing recipes and this happens to be one of my favorites. The flavor is out of this world and it is a bonus that it is packed with inflammation lowering polyphenols! So you can enjoy it while doing your body a whole lot of good!

Ingredients
- 650 grams Italian sausage meat (or any sort of sausage meat that you like)
- 90 grams celery (About 3 stalks)
- 200 grams onions (About 2 large onions)
- 100 grams dried cranberries
- 6 dried figs
- 200 grams apple, peeled and chopped (About 2 small apples)
- 100 grams walnuts
Instructions
Step 1
Cook the sausage meat in a pan until it is cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 2
While sausage is cooking, chop up the celery and onion. When the sausage is done, add celery and onion to the pan that you just took the meat out of and cook it in the fat left from the meat.
Step 3
Cook until softened – about 5 or so minutes. Meanwhile, chop the apples.
Step 4
In an oven proof dish, mix up the cooked sausage meat, celery and onion mix, apples, chopped figs, walnuts and cranberries and combine well. You can also add pieces of any gluten free bread mixture if you like a breaded texture.
Step 5
Throw this in the oven with whatever else you are cooking and bake for about an hour at about 375*F/180*C or alternatively stuff your bird with it and let them cook together.
