Cranberry Sausage Stuffing Logs Oamc
I made two of these gorgeous rolled stuffing logs, one for thanksgiving and froze the second to serve with my christmas meal. the entire recipe makes 2 stuffing logs and there will also be a third portion left to stuff a turkey with, or to bake in a casserole. If you only want to make 1 roll, simply divide most of the ingredients by 3, except for the apple, egg, and bacon - use 1 small egg, 1 small apple, and 12 pieces of bacon, cooking time will remain the same. a bit tricky to roll up, but the final product is worth all your hard work.you can substitute fresh red currants for the cranberries or use dried cranberries or dried cherries if you prefer. also, if you only have dried herbs, that is fine.. Just add dreid versions to taste, perhaps a few spoonfuls of each. this gets sliced and looks so lovely with the center of berries. Adapted from a version i found in good food magazine.

Tuck the long edges of the bacon over the stuffing.
Then , using the foil to help , roll the stuffing up into a log shape.

If you like things neat and tidy , you can also using a few pieces of kitchen twine to help hold the roll together.
