apple-raisin stuffing
Apple-Raisin Stuffing
Ingredients
3/4 cup minced onion
1 cup
butter or margarine
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
3 cups finely chopped apples
1 1/2 cups chopped celery (stalks and leaves)
7 cups bread cubes
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed sage leaves
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup raisins
Note: Use half the salt if seasoned bread cubes are used
Note: Mix cooking and firm apples, I like Delicious and Fuji
Directions
In large skillet, cook and stir onion and celery in butter until onion is tender. Stir in about 1/3 of the bread cubes. Turn into deep bowl. Add remaining ingredients and toss.
I mix by hand to do a better job of mashing ingredients together.
Recipe leaves mix rather dry. I generally boil the neck and giblets and use broth to help moisten mix. Typically I only use broth and discard neck and giblets (personal preference). I have also used canned chicken broth to save time. Amount of bread cubes is a minimum. Depending on size of bird, I will sometimes add more and moisten with additional broth.
Makes: 9 cups, enough for a 12 pound turkey
