Take This Bird and Stuff It!

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 pound ground pork sausage
12 ounces dry corn bread stuffing mix
1 1/2 cups canned or homemade chicken broth
3 cups chopped onions
2 cups chopped celery
2 cups chopped green bell pepper
1 cup chopped scallions
2 tablespoons fresh ground black pepper
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
1 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
1/2 cup applesauce
Salt, to tasteMelt butter over medium heat and add sausage, cooking until brown and done. Add onions, celery, black pepper, and bell pepper. Cover and cook until tender, stirring occasionally. Add green onions, thyme, and sage. Transfer to large bowl. Stir stuffing mix into the same bowl and add salt as needed. Add apple sauce and enough chicken broth to moisten stuffing. Loosely fill main turkey cavity. Bake turkey as usual. Extra stuffing can be cooked separately but add more broth as it will not be absorbing any juices from the turkey. Bake for 1 hour.
