1 onion

Herb-Scented Roast Turkey with Cornbread Stuffing





Stuffing


1/2 cup butter or margarine


3 medium celery stalks, chopped (1 1/2 cups)


3/4 cup chopped onion


9 cups 1/2-inch cubes cornbread or soft bread


1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried sage leaves, crumbled


1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves


1 teaspoon salt


1/8 teaspoon pepper


Turkey


1 whole turkey (12 lb), thawed if frozen


1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 2 teaspoons dried rosemary leaves, crumbled


1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 2 teaspoons dried sage leaves, crumbled


1 teaspoon salt


1/4 teaspoon pepper


2 cloves garlic, finely chopped


1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted





1 . Heat oven to 325掳F. In 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook celery and onion in butter about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender; remove from heat. In large bowl, mix celery mixture and remaining stuffing ingredients until well blended.


2 . Stuff turkey just before roasting, not ahead of time. Fill wishbone area lightly with stuffing. Fasten neck skin to back with skewer. Fold wings across back with tips touching. Fill body cavity lightly. (Do not pack--stuffing will expand while cooking.) Tuck drumsticks under band of skin at tail, or tie together with heavy string, then tie to tail.


3 . In small bowl, mix rosemary, 1 tablespoon sage, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the garlic; rub into turkey skin. Place turkey, breast side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Brush with 1/4 cup butter. Do not add water. Place meat thermometer in thickest part of inside thigh muscle so thermometer does not touch bone.


4 . Roast uncovered 4 to 5 hours, brushing with pan juices every 30 minutes, until thermometer reads 180掳F and juice of turkey is no longer pink when center of thigh is cut. Thermometer placed in center of stuffing will read 165掳F when done.


5 . Place foil loosely over turkey when it begins to turns golden. When turkey is two-thirds done, cut band of skin, or remove string or skewer holding legs. When turkey is done, place on warm platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Let stand about 20 minutes for easiest carving. While turkey is standing, prepare Foolproof Gravy if desired.


6 . To serve, garnish turkey with fresh herb sprigs, if desired.

Glazed Roast Turkey with Cranberry Stuffing





Stuffing


1 cup butter or margarine


3 medium celery stalks (with leaves), chopped (1 1/2 cups)


3/4 cup finely chopped onion


9 cups soft bread cubes (15 slices) or cornbread cubes


1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins


2 tablespoons chopped fresh or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried sage leaves


1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves


1 1/2 teaspoons salt


1/2 teaspoon pepper


Turkey


1 whole turkey (12 lb), thawed if frozen


2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted


Cranberry-Apple Glaze


1 can (8 oz) jellied cranberry sauce


1/4 cup apple jelly


1/4 cup light corn syrup





1 . Heat oven to 325掳F. In 10-inch skillet, melt 1 cup butter over medium heat. Cook celery and onion in butter, stirring frequently, until onion is tender. Stir in about one-third of the bread cubes. Place in large bowl. Add remaining bread cubes and remaining stuffing ingredients; toss.


2 . Stuff turkey just before roasting. Fill wishbone area with stuffing first. Fasten neck skin to back with skewer. Fold wings across back with tips touching. Fill body cavity lightly. (Do not pack--stuffing will expand while cooking.) Tuck drumsticks under band of skin at tail, or tie together with heavy string, then tie to tail.


3 . Place turkey, breast side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Brush with 2 tablespoons butter. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of inside thigh muscle and does not touch bone. Do not add water.


4 . Roast uncovered, following Timetable for approximate total cooking time. Thermometer will read 180潞F when turkey is done, and the drumstick should move easily when lifted or twisted. Roast until juice is no longer pink when center of thigh is cut. Thermometer placed in center of stuffing will read 165潞F when done. If a meat thermometer is not used, begin testing for doneness about 30 minutes before Timetable indicates. (See Timetable for Roasting Poultry for exact times.)


5 . In 1-quart saucepan, mix all glaze ingredients. Cook over medium heat about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth. Brush glaze on turkey about 20 minutes before turkey is done.


6 . Place a tent of foil loosely over turkey when it begins to turn golden. When two-thirds done, cut band of skin or string holding legs. When turkey is done, place on warm platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Let stand about 15 minutes for easiest carving. To serve, brush again with glaze before carving.
