Kittencal's Sausage And Cranberry Stuffing

---

This stuffing pairs well with my recipe#199612, for an 18-20 pound turkey you will need to *double* the recipe, the amounts listed are for a 10-pound turkey --- i strongly suggest to prepare this stuffing a day ahead as the flavors will combine together, this may also be baking in a casserole dish covered with foil in a 350 degree f oven for about 30-35 minutes --- *note* for 6 cups bread cubes i use about half of an unsliced french bread (not a baguette) for a double recipe use all of the loaf :)
