Thanksgiving Stuffing with a Spicy Twist

I'm putting a twist on my favorite classic stuffing combo, sausage, apples, and a secret ingredient that will blow your mind. Can you guess what it is?! It is seriously so balanced and tastes bombbbbbb!! Cook along with me this Thanksgiving!!

2 cups kimchi, chopped (the older and stinkier, the better)

½ a large onion or 1 small onion, chopped

1 large honeycrisp apple, chopped

2 stalks celery, chopped

2 large italian sausage, casing removed (more if you want it extra meaty)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup chives

1 tablespoon fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried thyme

1 tablespoon butter

4 cups of cornbread, dried and cubed

4 cups ciabatta bread, dried and cubed

3 cups chicken broth

1 teaspoon kosher salt

  1. In a large pan, on medium high heat, melt the butter and saute the onions for 2 minutes until translucent. Next add the celery, thyme, and garlic and cook it up for another minute or two.

  2. Add the italian sausage and crumble it up with your spoon. Cook until it's fully cooked then add the apples, mushrooms and cook it until the liquid is almost evaporated.

  3. Add the kimchi and leave it on for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally until it caramelizes and smells amazing!! Add the ciabatta and chives, half of the chicken broth, salt, and mix. Add the cornbread, the rest of the chicken broth, mix again.

  4. Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes until it's golden brown and deliciously puffed up. Remove and serve. It's so good the next day with a fried egg on top. Enjoy!
