Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 Tbsp. oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-1/2 lb. ground pork
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
1 pkg. (6 oz.) STOVE TOP Stuffing Mix for Chicken
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
5 large navel oranges, divided
1 frozen turkey (15 lb.), thawed
1 pkg. (14 oz.) frozen tamarind pulp, thawed
1/2 cup sugar
4-1/2 tsp. cornstarch
1 Tbsp. butter

Spoon stuffing into neck and body cavities, being careful to not pack stuffing into turkey too tightly. Return legs to tucked position; turn wings back to hold neck skin in place. Cut 1 orange into 8 slices; arrange over turkey. Cover breast loosely with foil to prevent over-browning.

ELEGANT TURKEY STUFFING



Elegant Turkey Stuffing image

The distinctiveness of this turkey dressing comes from the orange-flavored liqueur, spicy Italian sausage, apples, and pecans. It's also very easy to prepare. This recipe makes enough to stuff one 18 to 20 pound bird. If you prefer, this dressing can be made with thyme instead of sage.

Tips:

  • To make sure the turkey is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The safe internal temperature for cooked turkey is 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the turkey is cooked by piercing it with a fork. If the juices run clear, the turkey is cooked.
  • Let the turkey rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bird.
  • Picadillo stuffing is a great way to add flavor and moisture to your turkey. Be sure to cook the stuffing thoroughly before stuffing the turkey.
  • Orange-tamarind sauce is a delicious and tangy sauce that complements the turkey perfectly. You can make the sauce ahead of time and reheat it before serving.
