My husband created the recipe for this tempting turkey and delectable dressing. It's a feast that seems like Thanksgiving whenever we enjoy it. He gets lots of recipe requests for this memorable main dish. —Joan Vernon, Riverton Utah

Turkey With Rye Dressing Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 4-1/2 hours

Yield: 10-12 Servings

20 270 290

Ingredients

1 pound day-old light rye bread, cubed
1/2 pound day-old dark rye bread, cubed
1-1/2 cups chopped onion
2 large tart apples, peeled and chopped
1 cup chopped celery
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup butter, cubed
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 to 3-1/2 cups chicken broth
1 turkey (12 to 14 pounds)
2 tablespoons canola oil

Directions

Toss bread cubes in a large bowl. In a skillet, saute the onion, apples, celery and garlic in butter until apples and vegetables are tender; add to bread. Add the 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° for 4-1/2 to 5 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 185°, brushing with oil occasionally. Remove all stuffing. Yield: 10-12 servings (11 cups stuffing).

Editor’s Note: Additional stuffing may be baked separately in a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Cover and bake at 325° for 1 hour; uncover and bake for 10 minutes.

started drying the bread about a week in advance, bagged it with some moisture absorbing packets. this takes planning but the bird was SOOOOO perfect and worth it.

No, because you are showing a 5 star rating and no reviews to back up that rating. I made this last year at Thanksgiving and I liked it but had made many adjustments. But if I could read what other raters are saying it would be a big help. This is a wonderful break through for rye bread user, but needs user's reviews.
