Peel and dice the onion. Dice the celery. Mince the garlic. Peel, core and dice the apples. Heat the olive oil to medium high in a large skillet. Remove the sausage from the casing and saute, breaking it up as it cooks. When it is almost cooked, add the butter, onion, apple and celery and cook through, then add the garlic and saute 2-3 more minutes. Turn the heat down and add the stuffing mix, cranberries and sage, then stir in the wine and broth. Turn off the heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Spray a 9x13 pan with non stick, and spoon the dressing in to the pan. If it looks dry (it should be fairly wet at this point) add additional broth or turkey drippings (preferable!). bake at 350 until the dressing is brown and crunchy on top.
Ask the hotline about this step!This looks terrific and you could easily make it on a weeknight. I love apples, sausage and cranberries together.

This is an old Nova Scotia (Canada) favourite, but we use apple- maple sausages. Sometimes we add Summer Savory to the sage but only a little as it is very strong.
