Apple, Turnip and Sage Dressing Popular Ingredients
- 8 stalks celery, stalks trimmed of leaves and ends, washed, dried and cut into 1/4-inch thick half moons
- 8 slices white sandwich bread
- 1 teaspoon dry rosemary
- 10 fresh sage leaves, stemmed and cut into thin strips
- 4 medium turnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick cubes
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 3 medium yellow onions, peeled, halved and cut into thin slices
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
- 1 pound loose pork breakfast sausage, broken into small pieces and cooked
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken stock, boiled and cooled
- 1 stick to 1 1/4 sticks (8 to 10 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 4 medium Granny Smith apples, cored, peeled and cut into 8 to 10 even wedges
Steps for making Apple, Turnip and Sage Dressing
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large skillet, melt 1/4 stick (2 tablespoons) of the butter. Add the apple wedges and onions. Season with the sugar and salt and pepper to taste. Cook over medium heat until the apples and onions become slightly tender and yielding but still hold their shape, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the celery and cook to soften it slightly, about 2 additional minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the contents to a bowl. Set aside.
- Arrange the bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast until light brown. Alternatively, brown them in a toaster. While the bread is still hot, lightly butter both sides of each piece. Cut into 1-inch squares and transfer them to a large bowl. Toss with the rosemary, sage and some salt and pepper. Mix to blend. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet and add 1 tablespoon of the butter. When it melts, stir in the turnip cubes and sprinkle with the allspice. Season with salt and cook over medium heat until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Combine the apple, onion and celery mixture with the cooked breakfast sausage and turnips in the bowl containing the toasted bread. Mix to blend, and add the chicken stock to moisten all of the ingredients.
- Place into a rectangular baking dish and bake until golden and cooked through, 45 to 50 minutes.

- Fruit – In botany, a fruit is the seed-bearing structure in flowering plants that is formed from the ovary after flowering.Fruits are the means by which flowering plants (also known as angiosperms) disseminate their seeds. Edible fruits in particular have long propagated using the movements of humans and animals in a symbiotic relationship that is the means for seed dispersal for the one group and nutrition for the other; in fact, humans and many animals have become dependent on fruits as a source of food. Consequently, fruits account for a substantial fraction of the world’s agricultural output, and some (such as the apple and the pomegranate) have acquired extensive cultural and symbolic meanings.In common language usage, “fruit” normally means the fleshy seed-associated structures (or produce) of plants that typically are sweet or sour and edible in the raw state, such as apples, bananas, grapes, lemons, oranges, and strawberries. In botanical usage, the term “fruit” also includes many structures that are not commonly called “fruits”, such as nuts, bean pods, corn kernels, tomatoes, and wheat grains.
