This is a classic bread stuffing traditionally served with turkey on Thanksgiving in the United States. It's made with stale white bread, Italian sausage, aromatic herbs, fennel root, and apples, which imbue it with richness and autumnal flavors. This side dish is baked separately from the turkey, but to infuse it with a rich flavor, drizzle the surface with rendered turkey fat (or substitute butter) before baking. This bread stuffing with fennel and sausage is a great accompaniment not only to turkey but also to other poultry (chicken, goose).
