Turkey With Rye Dressing Recipe

Turkey With Rye Dressing Recipe

  • 1 pound day-old light rye bread, cubed
  • 8 ounces day-old dark rye bread, cubed
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped onion
  • 2 large cooking apples, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 3/4 cup chopped salted mixed nuts
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons rubbed sage
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 turkey (12 to 14 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  1. Toss bread cubes in a large bowl. In a skillet, saute onion, apples, celery and garlic in butter until apples and vegetables are tender; add to bread. Add nuts, seasonings and enough broth to moisten. Just before baking, stuff the turkey. Skewer openings; tie drumsticks together. Place on a rack in a roasting pan. Brush with some of the oil. Cover lightly with a tent of foil. Bake at 325 degrees F for 4-1/2 to 5 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 185 degrees F, brushing with oil occasionally. Remove all stuffing.
