Steps:
- Turkey: Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with rack in lower third. Boil 1/2 cup cider in a small saucepan until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in molasses until combined. Season body and neck cavities of turkey generously with salt and pepper. Rub butter evenly over skin; season with salt and pepper. Let stand 30 minutes.
- Stuffing: Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onion, celery, apple, and garlic; season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add wine; bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to a large bowl; toss with bread, walnuts, parsley, and 1 cup broth until combined. Fold in eggs.
- Lightly pack half of stuffing into body and neck cavities of turkey. Toss remaining stuffing with remaining 1 cup broth; transfer to a lightly buttered 2-quart baking dish and cover with parchment-lined foil. Tie turkey legs together with twine. Transfer to a roasting pan fitted with a rack. Pour broth and remaining 3/4 cup cider into pan.
- Roast turkey 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees. Brush turkey with some of cider-molasses glaze. Continue roasting, brushing with more glaze every 20 minutes, until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh (avoiding bone) and into stuffing registers 165 degrees, 1 hour, 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on size of bird. (Add more broth as needed to prevent bottom of pan from scorching.) Transfer turkey to a carving board. Let stand 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bake extra stuffing in baking dish 15 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until top is crisp and golden brown in spots, about 15 minutes more.
- Gravy: Remove rack from roasting pan; skim excess fat from pan drippings with a large spoon. Heat pan across two burners over medium-high. Add wine and bring to a boil, scraping browned bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. Add 2 1/2 cups broth; return to a boil. Whisk together remaining 1/4 cup broth and flour in a small bowl. Slowly pour flour mixture into pan, whisking constantly, until gravy thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in butter until combined. Strain gravy through a fine-mesh sieve; transfer to a gravy boat.
- Remove twine from turkey and transfer to a platter. Garnish with apples, pears, and fennel. Carve turkey and serve, with stuffing and gravy alongside.

TO-DIE-FOR THANKSGIVING STUFFING
This is a basic recipe that continues to evolve each year (one that was itself extrapolated from an intriguing Bon Appetit recipe). Add, subtract, go wild: the rich flavors of pumpernickel, bacon, and rye can stand up to just about anything! Warning: This is a HUGE recipe. Stuffs a 24 lb. turkey with leftovers to spare. Adjust as needed.

Steps:
- Saute onions, garlic, and rosemary in 4 tablespoons of the reserved bacon fat until golden and soft.
- In a huge bowl (or the nearest thing you've got--I use the turkey roaster), combine bread cubes, eggs, and remaining bacon fat. Then add onion/garlic mixture, the thyme, and pecans.
- Combine the bourbon and chicken stock; starting with 1 quart, add enough stock to produce the consistency YOU recognize as "stuffing."
- When combined, stuff bird or place in separate large baking dish(es).
- Bake at 350 for at least 45 minutes--longer if you prefer a dark crust on your stuffing.
- Serves 12 or more as part of a Thanksgiving feast.

RYE BREAD STUFFING
The original version of this recipe comes from the Dec/Jan 1997 issue of Taste Of Home magazine. I have since added the sage flavored sausage, and will either skip the mixed nuts or add only pecans. I get wonderful compliments on this stuffing every time i serve it, and the best compliments are when i'm asked to share the recipe or bring the stuffing to the next holiday. Be sure to use 3/4 light rye to 1/4 dark rye, or substitute all light rye, so the rye doesn't overpower. In this combination the flavor is not too strong, just enough that friends and family recognize it as something extra special you've done with your dressing. We've also been successful making this recipe gluten free by using gluten free white bread, broth and the regular flavor of Jimmy Dean Sausage.

BRINED AND ROASTED TURKEY WITH RYE BREAD STUFFING LOGS
A little trial and error resulted in this lovely recipe that is fairly easy to prepare and was a huge hit this year at my holiday party. Brining makes the turkey taste lightly salty and very tender and is relatively easy to do with the right tools. I used the following guide: http://whatscookingamerica.net/Poultry/BriningPoultry.html and added in 4 oranges, salt, and an entire box of brown sugar. The rest of the recipe is as follows:

Steps:
- Remove turkey from brine. Rinse, and set aside in roasting pan. Preheat oven to 400. Place bread cubes in large bowl and set aside.
- Heat butter in skillet and saute onion, apples, celery, and garlic until tender. Transfer to bowl with bread cubes. Add nuts, all seasonings, and enough broth to moisten. Mix well.
- Brush turkey with 1 tsp oil. Stuff turkey with half of stuffing. Pour beer over top and baste with syrup or honey. Cover turkey in foil and place on lowest oven rack. Baste with honey or syrup every half hour or so. Bake 4 hours, or until meat thermometer indicates 180-190 degrees.
- Take a large sheet of foil and butter or spray with pam. Lay strips of bacon two across with ends overlapping. Spread remaining stuffing over bacon, leaving approximately half an inch of exposed bacon at each end. Using foil to help, roll into stuffing log, place in baking dish, and place in refrigerator.
- During last hour of turkey cooking, remove log from refrigerator and remove foil, set aside to use as cover. Cook log for 30 mins covered in foil, then roll the log so underside of bacon is exposed. Cook for 30 more minutes Finally, remove foil covering and cook for ten mins, assuring bacon crispness. (Cooking the stuffing log can also be done after turkey is removed and other dishes are cooking).
- Pour broth from roasting pan into pot and drain with gravy strainer. Boil and add flour in small increments until desired thickness is reached.

Yield serves 1
Number Of Ingredients 14
Steps:
- Make the Russian dressing: Heat the sugar and 1 teaspoon of water in a saucepan over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Stir in the ketchup, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, paprika, celery seed, Worcestershire sauce, and onion. Gradually whisk in the vegetable oil until all the ingredients are incorporated. Taste, and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Make the sandwich: Layer the turkey, Emmenthaler cheese, romaine, and 2 tablespoons of the Russian dressing on 1 slice of bread. Top with the other slice of bread.
- Cut the sandwich in half, and serve.
Tips:
- To ensure your turkey is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the breast and 175°F (80°C) in the thigh.
- For a crispy turkey skin, pat the turkey dry before roasting and brush it with melted butter or oil. You can also sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
- To prevent the turkey from drying out, baste it with the pan drippings every 30 minutes or so.
- If you're using a stuffing, make sure it is cooked through before stuffing the turkey. The stuffing should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Let the turkey rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
- When making the rye dressing, use stale rye bread for the best flavor and texture. You can toast the bread cubes before adding them to the dressing for extra crunch.
- If you don't have any celery or onion on hand, you can use leeks or shallots instead.
- For a richer flavor, use chicken broth or stock instead of water in the dressing.
- If you want a vegetarian dressing, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
Conclusion:
Turkey with rye dressing is a classic holiday dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. With its crispy skin, tender meat, and flavorful stuffing, this dish is a true feast. Follow these tips to make sure your turkey and dressing turn out perfectly.
