Add celery, onions, and apple.
6
Sautee briefly.
7
Add chicken stock and bring to boil.

Stir in sage, thyme (removed from stems) and raisins.
10
Roast in bird, or in a foil-covered roasting pan in the oven alongside your bird.
11
If cooking in a pan, remove the foil during the last 10 minutes (more or less, depending on the temp at which your bird is roasting) of cooking to crisp up.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
