Ingredients: 3/4 cup chopped celery; 1/3 cup chopped onion; 2 tablespoons butter; 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme; 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning; 5 cups seasoned stuffing cubes; 3/4 cup golden raisins; 3/4 cup chicken broth; 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) pitted tart cherries, drained; 1 turkey (10 to 12 pounds); 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1
In a saucepan, saute celery and onion in butter until tender. Stir in thyme and poultry seasoning. In a large bowl, combine stuffing, raisins and celery mixture. Add broth and cherries; toss to mix.
2
Loosely stuff turkey just before baking. Skewer openings; tie drumsticks together. Place the turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan. Brush with oil.
3
Bake, uncovered, at 325u00b0 for 4 to 4-1/2 hours or until a thermometer reads 180u00b0 for the turkey and 165u00b0 for the stuffing. Baste occasionally with pan drippings. Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.
4
Cover and let stand for 20 minutes before removing the stuffing and carving the turkey. If desired, thicken pan drippings for gravy.
