Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a nonstick skillet. Saute onion and celery until onion begins to brown.

  2. Step 2

    Add mushrooms, apples and parsley, and continue cooking until apples soften and mushrooms release their liquid.

  3. Step 3

    Reduce heat, and stir in dried cherries, dried apples, sage and thyme. Continue cooking until mixture is well blended.

  4. Step 4

    Add bread and stock, and mix well. Season with salt and pepper, then stuff the mixture into a 12- to 14-pound turkey just before cooking. Stuffing may be made ahead and frozen for a week or two. Or it may be refrigerated for two days.

I've been using this recipe for many years, and there's very little leftover after Thanksgiving dinner. I substitute corn bead instead of stale bread and it really adds a nice flavor. I've even used veggietable broth instead of chicken broth and it's great for our vegetarian friends and family.
