Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 celery ribs, chopped; 2 medium onions, chopped; 3/4 cup butter, divided; 5 cups unseasoned stuffing cubes; 1-1/2 cups chopped peeled tart apples (about 2 medium); 1 cup chopped walnuts; 1/2 cup raisins; 1/2 cup dried cranberries; 1/4 cup egg substitute; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 1 to 2 cups chicken broth; 1 turkey (14 to 16 pounds)

Servings: persons

3 celery ribs, chopped
2 medium onions, chopped
3/4 cup butter, divided
5 cups unseasoned stuffing cubes
1-1/2 cups chopped peeled tart apples (about 2 medium)
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup egg substitute
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 to 2 cups chicken broth
1 turkey (14 to 16 pounds)

1
In a large skillet, saute celery and onions in 1/2 cup butter until tender. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in the stuffing cubes, apples, walnuts, raisins and cranberries. Stir in the egg substitute, salt, pepper and enough broth to reach desired moistness.
2
Just before baking, loosely stuff turkey with stuffing. Skewer turkey openings; tie drumsticks together. Place breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Melt remaining butter; brush over turkey.
3
Bake, uncovered, at 325u00b0 for 3-3/4 to 4-1/4 hours or until a thermometer reads 165u00b0 when inserted in center of stuffing and the thigh reaches at least 170u00b0, basting occasionally with pan drippings. (Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.)
4
Cover turkey and let stand for 20 minutes before removing stuffing and carving turkey. If desired, thicken pan drippings for gravy.
