Steps:
- Cut challah into 1-inch cubes and let cubes sit out in a bowl or on a baking tray, uncovered, for at least six hours to make them stale. (Alternatively, you can dry bread in a 250°F oven by laying cubes in a single layer on baking sheets and baking for about 30 minutes, or until bread is dry but not toasted (it should not start to brown at all).).
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large saute pan, melt butter over medium-low heat, then add onions and celery.
- Add three teaspoons of salt and ground pepper to taste, and cook until onions are soft, about 8 minutes.
- Add apples and herbs and cook until apples are soft, about 5 minutes more.
- In a large bowl, combine challah cubes, cooked vegetables, and chicken broth.
- Mix until the bread is saturated with liquid, and everything is evenly mixed.
- Press stuffing into a 9x13-inch baking dish and cover with foil.
- Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes; remove the foil, increase temperature to 450°F, and stuffing for another 10-15 minutes, or until the top starts to brown slightly.
- Cool 10 minutes, then serve.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen
Time 1h30m
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- Chop the challah bread into 1/2-inch cubes to make 16 cups. Stale bread works best for stuffing-if yours is fresh, spread out the cubes on baking sheet and dry in a 300 degrees F oven, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Heat 1 stick butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, sage, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth; bring to a simmer and remove from the heat.
- Meanwhile, cook the wild rice as the label directs. Beat the eggs and parsley in a large bowl; stir in the bread cubes, the vegetable-broth mixture, the prepared rice and the mushrooms. Stir in the raisins.
- Transfer the mixture to a buttered 3-to-4-quart baking dish and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees F, 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden, about 20 more minutes.

Steps:

- 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.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Generously butter baking dish.
- Roast pecans in a pie or cake pan until fragrant and insides are pale golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
- Divide bread between 2 large baking sheets and bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until golden, 15 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then cook sausage, stirring and breaking up lumps, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer sausage to a very large bowl.
- Add butter to skillet and heat over medium heat until foam subsides. Add onions, celery, garlic, allspice, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown lightly, 12 to 15 minutes. Add vegetables to sausage with bread, cherries, and pecans, and toss to mix well.
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, then whisk in stock, cream, and parsley, and pour over stuffing. Stir stuffing well, then spread it out in baking dish. Chill if turkey is more than 1 hour from being done.
- When turkey is done, increase oven temperature to 425°F. Cover stuffing tightly with foil and bake until hot throughout, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake until top is golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes more.
Tips:
- Use a variety of apples. This will give your stuffing a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
- Don't peel the apples. The skin adds flavor and nutrients to the stuffing.
- Use fresh herbs. They will give your stuffing a more vibrant flavor. Some good choices include sage, thyme, and rosemary.
- Don't overstuff the bird. This will make it difficult to cook evenly.
- Bake the stuffing in a separate dish. This will help to prevent it from getting too dry.
- Let the stuffing rest before serving. This will help it to absorb the flavors and set.
