Time 4h

Yield 10-12 servings (8 cups stuffing).

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 turkey (13 to 15 pounds)
3 tablespoons butter, softened
4 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 teaspoon paprika
STUFFING:
2 celery rib, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup butter
1 loaf (1 pound) day-old bread, cubed (about 11 cups)
3 teaspoons rubbed sage
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1-1/4 to 1-3/4 cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • Pat turkey dry. Combine the butter, salt, pepper, sage and paprika; rub over the outside and inside of turkey. In a skillet, saute celery and onion in butter until tender. In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes, celery mixture, sage, salt and pepper. Add enough broth to moisten; toss gently. Just before baking, loosely stuff turkey. Skewer turkey openings; tie drumsticks together. Place breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan., Bake at 350° for 3-1/2 to 4 hours or until a thermometer reads 180° for the turkey and 165° for the stuffing, basting occasionally with pan drippings. Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly. Cover and let stand for 20 minutes before removing stuffing and caving turkey.

This sage-rubbed roast turkey was a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The turkey was moist and flavorful, and the skin was crispy and golden brown. I would definitely make this recipe again.
