I used to make the same old dressing every year for Thanksgiving. About 10 years ago, I decided to jazz up my recipe by adding pork sausage. Now everyone requests this dish for all our holiday meals. —Ursula Hernandez, Waltham, Minnesota

Ingredients

  • 1 pound sage pork sausage
  • 1/2 cup butter, cubed
  • 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 6 celery ribs, finely chopped
  • 2 small onions, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 loaf (13 ounces) French bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 17 cups)
  • 4 cups cubed multigrain bread (1/2 inch)
  • 1 tablespoon rubbed sage
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup white wine or chicken stock
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
