1 20oz. loaf Panera Country White Sliced Bread, cut into ½-inch cubes
1 lb. Turkey Sausage, casing removed
1 tbsp. butter
1 cup leek, white and light green only, sliced thing (about 1 leek)
1 cup celery, diced ¼-inch (about 2 stalks)
1 apple, Fuji, diced ¼-inch
3 cups chicken broth
2 eggs
1 tbsp. poultry blend herbs (sage, thyme, rosemary), finely chopped

Arrange bread cubes in a single layer on a sheet pan and place into oven for 10 minutes while preheating oven to 350°F to allow them to dry out slightly.
Heat large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey sausage and cook for 5 minutes, while breaking up into crumbles with a spatula or spoon, until it is cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
Melt butter over medium-high heat in the same pan and sauté leek, celery, and apple for 10 minutes until golden brown and cooked down.
In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, eggs, and herbs.
In a large bowl, toss together bread, broth mixture, cooked turkey sausage, and vegetable apple mixture. Toss gently until combined.
Transfer mixture to a 2 quart baking dish and bake covered for 25 minutes. Remove cover and bake an additional 10 minutes until stuffing becomes golden brown on the top.
