Ingredients

  • 16 cups 1-inch bread cubes, white or whole wheat (2 baguettes)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
  • 2 cups medium-diced yellow onion (2 large)
  • 2 cups medium-diced celery (3 large stalks)
  • 2 Granny Smith apples, unpeeled, cored and large diced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary leaves
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup sliced blanched almonds, toasted, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

Put the bread cubes on a 13 by 18 by 1-inch baking sheet and bake them in the oven for 7 minutes.

In a large saute pan, melt the butter and add the onion, celery, apples, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Saute for 10 minutes, until the mixture is soft.

Combine the bread cubes and cooked vegetables in a large bowl and add the chicken stock, and almonds, if desired.

Place the stuffing into the main cavity of the turkey and into the neck of the bird.. I cook a 12-pound turkey for 2 1/2 hours at 350 degrees F in a preheated oven. Make sure the stuffing in the cavity is secured by wrapping the legs tightly with string.

    Answer to Question

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Hi, Carina - to bake this outside of the turkey, just prepare the recipe as directed, and then place into a buttered... casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes...the top should be golden brown. Enjoy! I've never had a bad recipe experience with Ina!Read more

    Question

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I haven't made this yet, but I plan to. I do have one question though, is there a way to make this without putting it in the... bird? I plan on only making turkey breast. Any ideas? I would really appreciate the help.Read more

    Very good

    I love cooking with apples...and we really enjoyed this stuffing. I definitely would keep the apples out of the celery/onion... saute. They cook up great when added raw inside the bird, and retain the apple flavor which infuses in the stuffing. We cut the recipe in half and used it in a chicken, and it was great!Read more

    Disappointed

    Rated: 2 stars out of 5
    I made this a few months ago but only just am writing the review because I saw Ida do it today. The apples turned to... tasteless mush. It might have been better to not precook them at all and put them in raw. Also, rosemary is just too strong for stuffing. Thyme would have been better. I love Ina and always watch her show but I'm just going to have to resign myself to the fact that I wall always be changing her recipes.Read more
