The sweet-tart flavor of the dried cranberries really complements the dish’s turkey sausage!
Ingredients
3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 pound Italian turkey sausage links, casings removed
1 large onion, diced
1 large fennel bulb, diced (about 1 cup)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 large egg yolk, beaten
4 cups soft French or Italian bread crumbs
3/4 cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon minced fresh sage
1 teaspoon minced fresh savory
