Preheat oven to 200°F/93°C
Put your bread pieces on a large cookie sheet and toast in
oven for 15 minutes.

Coin and quarter your sausages.
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté your sausages
until they begin to get a bit crisp on the outside, stirring
frequently.
Transfer sausage to large mixing bowl and set aside.
In that same pan over medium heat, with the juices still in it, add ½ c (120ml) vegetable broth and your diced onion.
Sauté for 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add your celery and apples and cook for another 3-5
minutes, adding more broth if necessary to keep from
sticking.
Add your apple mixture to your large bowl and top with
toasted bread pieces.
Using a large wooden spoon begin to mix it all together.
Add your remaining vegetable broth bit by bit as you mix.
Eventually you will need to use your hands and you should REALLY work through it, squeezing it through your fingersuntil the bread begins to get mushy.
Remove 2 cups of the mixture right now to use in your
Stuffed Turkey Loaf.
Transfer the remaining stuffing mixture to a 13x9 inch
baking dish and cover with foil that you’ve spritzed with
cooking spray.
Bake covered for 40 minutes. Remove foil andbake for a remaining 20 minutes.
