Sausage and Apple Stuffed Pork Roast

Healthy Fact of the Day

This roast combines lean pork protein with nutritious ingredients. Apples provide fiber and antioxidants, while spinach adds iron and vitamins. To make healthier, use turkey sausage instead of pork sausage. Whole wheat breadcrumbs increase fiber content. Fresh herbs provide antioxidants and enhance flavor without added calories. Consider reducing breadcrumbs or using crushed nuts instead. The lean pork loin is a good source of protein and B vitamins. While flavorful, portion control helps make this part of a balanced meal. Serve with additional vegetables to increase nutrient content.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
