Ingredients

1 8 count box Texas Toast with garlic butter
1/3 pound turkey spicy Italian style sausage cut out of casing
1/3 pound turkey sweet Italian style sausage cut out of casing
1 small head fennel trimmed and thinly sliced
6 green onions ends trimmed, white and green parts thinly sliced but separated
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1-1/2 cup chicken stock

Instructions

Toast bread according to to box directions and cut it into large chunks and set it on a baking sheet.
If you have time let them sit out overnight to dry if not you may not need to add as much liquid as the bread will not be as dry.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and break up with a spatula so it's crumbly and not in large chunks.
Cook for about 10 minutes or until the meat is browned and fully cooked.
Add in the fennel and the white part of the green onion.
Saute for another 5 minutes to help soften the vegetables.
Add in the cranberries and chicken stock.
Bring to a slight bubble and remove from heat.
Add the bread cubes to the pan along with the green part of the green onions.
Toss to combine and help coat the bread with chicken stock. The majority of the bread should be moist.
Add the mixture to an 8x8 pan and smooth out the top.
Bake for about 40 minutes or until the top of the stuffing is browned and the mixture is warm throughout.

Notes

If the stuffing seems really dry add a little more broth to the bread before baking. This all depends on the dryness of the bread.
