RAISIN-STUDDED APPLE STUFFING
This is the only stuffing my family will permit on our holiday table. With Italian sausage and a blend of so many great flavors, it's almost a meal in itself. No wonder it won first prize in a local recipe contest! -Teri Lindquist, Gurnee, Illinois

Steps:
- Place the water, butter, and raisins into a saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, stir in the stuffing mix, cover, and let stand until the stuffing mixture absorbs the liquid, about 5 minutes. Stir 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning and the apple lightly into the stuffing. Allow the stuffing mixture to cool.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a rack into a roasting pan.
- Carefully remove the turkey breast skin in one piece without tearing the skin, and set aside. Bone the turkey breast (see notes) keeping the meat in one piece but removing the strip of cartilage and gristle between the two breast halves, if necessary. Pull the two tenderloin sections outward from the main part of the breast, keeping them attached, to expand the boneless piece of turkey into a roughly square-shaped piece of meat. Sprinkle the inside of the breast with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning.
- Spread the stuffing mixture all over the inside of the breast meat piece, and firmly roll the stuffed breast into a compact roll. Spread the reserved turkey skin out, and place the stuffed roll in the middle of the skin. Pull and roll the skin over the stuffed meat, and tie the stuffed roll together with cooking twine. Place the roll onto the roasting rack with the seam side down.
- Roast the stuffed breast in the preheated oven until the skin is golden brown, the meat is no longer pink inside, and the temperature of the roll, measured at the thickest part, reads 170 degrees F (75 degrees C), 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Allow the roast to stand covered with a tent of aluminum foil for at least 10 minutes before removing the twine for slicing.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Properly Preheat the Broiler: Ensure your broiler is adequately preheated before cooking the quail. This will help achieve a crispy skin and evenly cooked meat.
- Season the Quail Generously: Don't be afraid to season the quail generously with salt and pepper. This will enhance the flavor and make the meat more flavorful.
- Stuff the Quail Properly: When stuffing the quail, pack the stuffing loosely to allow for expansion during cooking. Overpacking can cause the stuffing to burst out and make a mess.
- Secure the Quail: Trussing or skewering the quail will help keep the stuffing inside and prevent it from falling out during cooking.
- Monitor the Cooking Time: Keep a close eye on the quail while it's broiling. Cooking times can vary depending on the size of the quail and the intensity of your broiler. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safety.
Conclusion:
Broiled quail with raisin and apple stuffing is an easy and delicious dish that's perfect for special occasions or everyday meals. With its crispy skin, tender meat, and flavorful stuffing, this dish is sure to impress your family and friends. By following the tips and recipe instructions carefully, you can create a delicious and memorable meal that everyone will enjoy.
