Truly a stuffing that pulls all the stops. Fresh sage is an absolute must, of course, but the sweet apples and raisins in this spectacular stuffing help balance out all that savory turkey and gravy.

  over 5 hrs

ingredients

2 pounds white bread, sliced
1/2 pound wheat bread, sliced
1 1/2 pound unsalted butter
1 1/2 cup chopped celery
1 1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup peeled and chopped apple
3 cups chicken or turkey stock
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 cup dark raisins
30 leaves sage, stems removed and leaves sliced thin
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

directions

Leave the bread slices exposed to air overnight so they are dried out. When dry, cut them into 1 inch cubes and place in a large bowl.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the celery, onions, and apple. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.

Add the stock and turn the heat to medium. Bring to a boil then turn off the heat and let the stock cool for 5 minutes.

Pour the stock over the bread cubes, tossing to coat them in the liquid evenly. Add the thyme, raisins, sage, salt, and pepper and mix well.

Transfer the stuffing to a baking dish. Cover and bake at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for 30 more minutes or until lightly browned and set in the middle.

The stuffing can also be used to stuff a 14-16 pound turkey.
