Time 2h50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

16 cups 1-inch bread cubes, white or whole wheat (2 baguettes)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
2 cups medium-diced yellow onion (2 large)
2 cups medium-diced celery (3 large stalks)
2 Granny Smith apples, unpeeled, cored and large diced
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary leaves
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup sliced blanched almonds, toasted, optional

Steps:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Put the bread cubes on a 13 by 18 by 1-inch baking sheet and bake them in the oven for 7 minutes.
In a large saute pan, melt the butter and add the onion, celery, apples, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Saute for 10 minutes, until the mixture is soft.
Combine the bread cubes and cooked vegetables in a large bowl and add the chicken stock, and almonds, if desired.
Place the stuffing into the main cavity of the turkey and into the neck of the bird. I cook a 12-pound turkey for 2 1/2 hours at 350 degrees F in a preheated oven. Make sure the stuffing in the cavity is secured by wrapping the legs tightly with string.

APPLE-NUT THANKSGIVING STUFFING/DRESSING

Apple-Nut Thanksgiving Stuffing/Dressing image

A tasty, easy recipe for stuffing your turkey, or as "dressing" on the side. I developed this recipe by playing around with family recipes and adding the apples and nuts to give it a little more moisture and flavor. Altho I usually don't stuff my turkeys, this recipe makes enough to stuff a 14-16 lb. turkey, or if you make 1 1/2 times the recipe, it will stuff a 20 lb. turkey and fill a large casserole dish on the side.

Tips:

Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help the cooking process go smoothly.
Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your stuffing the best flavor. If possible, use organic ingredients.
Toast the Nuts: Toasting the nuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
Use a Variety of Apples: Using a variety of apples will give your stuffing a more complex flavor. Granny Smith apples are a good choice because they are tart and hold their shape well when cooked.
Don't Overcook the Stuffing: Overcooked stuffing will be dry and bland. Stuff the turkey loosely so that the stuffing can cook evenly.
Let the Stuffing Rest: After cooking, let the stuffing rest for 10 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the stuffing to set.

Conclusion:

Apple Nut Thanksgiving Stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for your holiday table. With its sweet and savory flavors, this stuffing is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So, give this recipe a try and enjoy a delicious and memorable Thanksgiving meal!
