Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray

Ingredients
4-5 cups farmhouse-style crusty bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning, 1/3 palmful
6 tablespoons butter, divided
4 McIntosh, Golden Delicious, Gala or Honey Crisp apples
2 onions, chopped into bite size pieces
6 ribs celery from the heart, chopped into bite sized pieces
1 fresh bay leaf
Salt and pepper
A handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 pounds roast turkey breast, 3 slices - inch thick from the deli counter, cut into bite sized
cubes
4 cups chicken stock, divided
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup apple cider

Directions
Heat the oven to 325 degrees F and scatter bread on baking sheet, season
with poultry seasoning and bake to toast bread, 10-12 minutes.

Quarter the apples and slice into each quarter on an angle to cut away the core. Chop apples into
bite size pieces.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat with 3 tablespoons butter, when the butter melts, add the
apples, onions, celery, bay leaf and parsley. Season with salt and pepper and cook until tender, 7
to 8 minutes. Add turkey to the skillet and combine with vegetables, heat through 2 to 3 minutes
then fold in bread and moisten with about 2 cups chicken stock.

While stuffing cooks, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a sauce pan over medium heat and whisk in flour,
1 minute, whisk in cider and chicken stock and season with salt and pepper to taste, reduce 4 to 5
minutes.

Serve stuffing doused with 1/2 cup gravy.
