Health and fertility benefits of Cranberry Cornmeal Dressing Recipe

Researchers believe that cranberries contain substances that prevent infection-causing bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract walls. However, store-bought cranberry juice is typically all sugar - so make sure to stick with straight cranberries.

3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
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

4 cups soft French or Italian bread crumbs
3/4 cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Crumble sausage into a large nonstick skillet; add onion and fennel. Cook over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Stir in egg yolk and cornmeal mixture. Add bread crumbs, cranberries, parsley, vinegar, sage, savory and nutmeg.
