Cover with foil; refrigerate until ready to bake. Tuck legs under band of skin at tail (if present), or tie together with heavy string.

DRIED CRANBERRY AND APPLE TURKEY STUFFING
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.

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.
