Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h15m

Yield 8 servings of 2/3 cup stuffing and 4 ounces skinless turkey

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup wild rice
3 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cooking apple, such as a Golden Delicious, Gravenstein, or Rome, peeled, cored, and chopped
2 ribs celery with leaves, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
Pinch ground mace or nutmeg
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound fresh Italian-style turkey sausage, casings removed
1/2 cup pecan pieces, toasted (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 (8 to 10 pound) turkey, fresh or thawed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the stuffing: Combine the wild rice, water, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and just bursting, about 30 minutes. (Times may very depending on the brand of rice used.) Drain and set aside.
  • Adjust an oven rack to lowest position and remove other racks. Preheat to 325 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, apple, celery, garlic, thyme, mace, remaining 1 teaspoon salt and pepper, to taste. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon and cook until it loses most of its rosy color, but not so much that it's dry, about 5 minutes more. Stir in the cooked wild rice, pecans, and parsley into the vegetable mixture. (This can be made the day before.)
  • For the turkey: Remove turkey parts from neck and breast cavities and reserve for other uses, if desired. Dry bird well with paper towels, inside and out. Melt the butter together with the poultry seasoning. Salt and pepper inside the bird cavity. Loosely add the stuffing to the cavity and set the bird on a rack in a roasting pan, breast-side up, and brush generously with the seasoned butter, then season with salt and pepper. Tent the top of the bird with foil.
  • Roast the turkey for about 2 hours undisturbed. Remove and discard the foil. Baste with the remaining butter. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F and continue to roast until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, about 20 to 25 minutes more. Remove turkey from oven and tent with foil for 15 minutes before carving.

Number Of Ingredients 4

¼ cup vegetable oil, or as needed
5 apples, cored and quartered
5 pounds whole unpeeled apples

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • If necessary, unbind legs of turkey. Rinse and dry turkey with paper towels. Place turkey into a roasting pan with a lid, and rub the oil all over the turkey, inside and out.

Tips:

  • Prep the turkey in advance: Dry the turkey inside and out and remove the giblets. Season the turkey with salt and pepper inside and out, at least 24 hours before cooking to enhance flavor.
  • Use a flavorful stuffing: The rice and apple stuffing in this recipe provides a savory and sweet complement to the turkey. Feel free to experiment with other stuffing flavors and ingredients based on your preference.
  • Don't overstuff the turkey: Overstuffing can lead to uneven cooking and a longer cooking time. Aim to fill the turkey loosely so air can circulate and the heat can penetrate evenly.
  • Truss the turkey properly: Trussing the turkey helps keep the shape and prevents the wings and legs from flapping around during cooking. Use kitchen twine to securely tie the legs and wings to the body of the turkey.
  • Roast the turkey at the right temperature: Roast the turkey at 325°F (165°C) for even cooking. Check the internal temperature of the turkey using a meat thermometer to ensure it has reached a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the oven.
  • Let the turkey rest before carving: Allow the turkey to rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey.

This brown rice n' apple-stuffed turkey recipe offers a delicious and hearty Thanksgiving meal.
