Ingredients

  • 4 cups (164g) crusty bread or croutons
  • 2 stalks celery chopped
  • ½ onion chopped
  • ½ cup (110g) chicken broth plus more as needed
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ¼ cup (32.5g) dried cranberries
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried onions
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 sprig fresh sage chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F / 180 degrees.
  • Place the Italian sausages into the air fryer basket and cook for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through. Turn halfway through cooking.
  • Remove the sausages and allow them to cool slightly. Discard the casings and chop the sausage into small pieces.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausages with the bread cubes, vegetables, melted butter, cranberries, garlic powder, dried onions, chopped sage, and Italian seasoning.
  • Slowly add the broth, mixing the ingredients until the mixture is just moist but not wet. You may need additional broth, up to 1 cup total.
  • Place the stuffing mixture into an air fryer safe baking dish. Place the dish into the air fryer tray for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and heated through.

Notes

  • Make sure you have a dish that fits inside your air fryer basket. 
  • Air fry the sausage before adding it to the mixture. 
  • Cube the bread into small, bite-sized pieces. 
  • You can saute the celery and onion before adding to the stuffing if you prefer it to be a bit more tender. 
  • Make the stuffing mix in advance for easy meal prep. 
  • Melt the butter before adding it to the stuffing mixture. 
  • If the stuffing is dry, add more chicken stock. 
  • Serve with sweet potatoes for a yummy Thanksgiving dinner. 
  • Spritz the top of the stuffing with olive oil or cooking spray to help it brown better in the air fryer.
  • Storage - keep in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 4 days.
