This traditional British stuffing is a festive essential, combining Cumberland sausages with Bramley apple, sage, and granary breadcrumbs. It can be used to stuff poultry or baked separately in a loaf tin. The recipe yields 10 portions and takes about 60 minutes to prepare and cook, resulting in a savoury, herby accompaniment for a roast dinner.

Ingredients

2 onions sliced
25g butter
1 small Bramley apple peeled, cored and diced
2 x 400g packs meaty Cumberland sausages removed from their skins
handful sage leaves chopped, plus extra for topping
140g granary breadcrumbs

Method

Cook the 2 sliced onions in 25g butter for 5 mins, then briefly cook the 1 small diced Bramley apple with them.
Once cooled, combine this mixture with the 800g Cumberland sausages (skins removed), the chopped handful of sage, 140g granary breadcrumbs, and seasoning.
Stuff the neck of the bird with the mixture. For any remaining stuffing, form into balls. Alternatively, press all the mixture into a 1kg loaf tin and scatter extra sage leaves on top.
Bake alongside the turkey for 30-40 mins. After baking, pour off any excess fat and serve in slices.
