Apples, cranberries and raisins make every bite of this stuffing moist and fruity. A dear friend shared the recipe with me years ago.

Time 4h25m

Yield 14 servings (10 cups stuffing).

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 celery ribs, chopped
2 medium onions, chopped
3/4 cup butter, divided
5 cups unseasoned stuffing cubes
1-1/2 cups chopped peeled tart apples (about 2 medium)
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup egg substitute
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 to 2 cups chicken broth
1 turkey (14 to 16 pounds)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, saute celery and onions in 1/2 cup butter until tender. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in the stuffing cubes, apples, walnuts, raisins and cranberries. Stir in the egg substitute, salt, pepper and enough broth to reach desired moistness. , Just before baking, loosely stuff turkey with stuffing. Skewer turkey openings; tie drumsticks together. Place breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Melt remaining butter; brush over turkey. , Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 3-3/4 to 4-1/4 hours or until a thermometer reads 165° when inserted in center of stuffing and the thigh reaches at least 170°, basting occasionally with pan drippings. (Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.), Cover turkey and let stand for 20 minutes before removing stuffing and carving turkey. If desired, thicken pan drippings for gravy.

This recipe was a disaster. The turkey was undercooked and the stuffing was raw.

This was my first time making turkey and stuffing from scratch, and it turned out great! The turkey was moist and flavorful, and the stuffing was moist and fluffy. I will definitely be making this again.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of fruit in my stuffing, but I was pleasantly surprised. The stuffing was delicious and the turkey was moist and juicy. I'll definitely be making this again!
