This is a recipe I adapted from Paul Prudhomme’s Stuffed Pork Chops recipe, which is also wonderful.

The stuffing is best cooked separately in a baking dish to go along with your turkey.

First, mix the following ingredients. Reserve 2 Tbs. and sprinkle rest on turkey or if using turkey breast, lift up skin and sprinkle seasoning underneath, then replace skin. You might make more mix for a large turkey.

Second: Process apples, butter, sugar, vanilla and nutmeg until smooth. Set aside.

Third: Brown sausage in skillet over high heat for 3 minutes. Add onions, celery, green pepper, garlic and 2 T. seasoning mix, stirring well. Cook about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping skillet until sausage is well browned. Reduce heat, add green chiles and chicken stock and cook 5 min. stirring frequently. Add apple mixture and cook about 2 minutes more, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.

In a large mixing bowl, place both packages of stuffing mix. Pour contents of skillet over dry crumbs and mix well. Mix in walnuts. If mixture is too dry, add more chicken broth or even water. This should make a moist but not soggy stuffing.

Cover and bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes. Uncover and bake 10-15 minutes until lightly browned on top.
