Categories     Entree

Time 5h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 whole turkey (12 lb), thawed if frozen
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 large onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
1 package (16 oz) herb-seasoned stuffing mix
2 medium red apples, chopped (2 cups)
1 1/2 cups dried cherries
1 cup chopped pecans
2 1/2 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz container)
1/2 cup cherry preserves or jam
1/4 cup ruby port or chicken broth

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F. Grease 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with shortening or cooking spray; set aside. Remove and discard neck and giblets from turkey. Rinse turkey inside and out with cold water; pat dry with paper towels. In small bowl, mix sage, salt and pepper; rub into turkey skin.
  • In 8-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. In large bowl, thoroughly mix cooked onion and remaining stuffing ingredients.
  • Turn turkey breast side down. Fill neck cavity lightly with 1 cup of the stuffing (do not pack stuffing because it will expand during roasting). Fasten neck skin of turkey to back with skewer.
  • Turn turkey breast side up. Fold wings across back of turkey so tips are touching. Fill body cavity lightly with 3 cups of the stuffing (do not pack stuffing because it will expand during roasting). Place remaining stuffing in baking dish. Cover with foil; refrigerate until ready to bake. Tuck legs under band of skin at tail (if present), or tie together with heavy string.
  • On rack in shallow roasting pan, place turkey, breast side up. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of inside thigh and does not touch bone.
  • Cover turkey loosely with foil or roaster cover; roast 3 hours. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix glaze ingredients; set aside.
  • Uncover turkey and place foil-covered baking dish with stuffing in oven. Roast 45 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes longer, brushing turkey with glaze frequently, until thermometer reads 165°F and drumsticks move easily when lifted or twisted. Thermometer inserted in center of stuffing in turkey should read 165°F. Remove baking dish with stuffing from oven after 40 to 50 minutes of baking time or when thoroughly heated (165°F).
  • Place turkey on warm platter; cover with foil to keep warm. Let stand about 15 minutes for easiest carving. Cover and refrigerate any remaining turkey and stuffing separately.

DRIED CRANBERRY AND APPLE TURKEY STUFFING



Dried Cranberry and Apple Turkey Stuffing image

A recipe of my girlfriends, made at her house for a Christmas dinner a few years back...an excellent recipe for a stuffing, that is prepared to cook inside the turkey. Note cooking time depends on how long the turkey is cooked, I imagine that you could bake this outside the turkey also too. This recipe can be doubled if desired.

Challah, Sausage, and Dried Cherry Stuffing image

Provided by Gina Marie Miraglia Eriquez

Categories     Side     Bake     Thanksgiving     Stuffing/Dressing     Cherry     Sausage     Gourmet     Peanut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup (4 ounces) pecans
1 (1-pound) challah loaf (or other egg bread), cut into 1-inch cubes (about 12 cups)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound bulk sausage meat (usually sold in a tube)
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces
3 medium onions, chopped
4 large celery ribs, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon allspice
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup dried tart (Morello) cherries (4 ounces; see Cooks' note:s)
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups turkey stock or reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Special Equipment
3 1/2- to 4-quart shallow ceramic or glass baking dish (or two 2-quart shallow baking dishes)

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:

  • Thaw the turkey completely before cooking. This will ensure that the turkey cooks evenly.
  • Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before roasting the turkey. The temperature will vary depending on the size of the turkey.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the turkey. The turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the turkey rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the turkey.
  • Make sure the dried cherries and apples are plump before adding them to the stuffing. If they are dry, soak them in water for 30 minutes before using.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices in the stuffing. This will give the stuffing a flavorful and complex taste.
  • Stuff the turkey loosely. Overstuffing the turkey can make it difficult for the turkey to cook evenly.
  • Roast the turkey in a roasting pan that is large enough to hold the turkey without overcrowding.
  • Baste the turkey with the cherry glaze every 30 minutes during the last hour of cooking. This will help to keep the turkey moist and flavorful.
  • Let the turkey cool slightly before carving. This will make it easier to carve the turkey and prevent the meat from falling off the bone.

Conclusion:

Cherry glazed turkey with dried cherry apple stuffing is a delicious and festive dish that is perfect for a holiday meal. The combination of sweet cherries, tart apples, and savory herbs and spices creates a flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish is also relatively easy to make, making it a great option for busy cooks. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a memorable meal that your family and friends will love.
