The combination of sweet, savory, crunchy and spicy ingredients makes a fabulous stuffed turkey that's become a tradition at our Thanksgiving dinner. Leftover stuffing can be a meal in itself. —Keri Scofield Lawson, Fullerton, California

Ingredients

4 medium onions
1 pound bulk pork sausage
2 packages (6 ounces each) herb stuffing mix
1 package (15 ounces) golden raisins
1 cup pecan halves
6 celery ribs, diced
1/4 teaspoon each dried basil, oregano, curry powder, caraway seeds, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper
2-1/2 cups chicken broth
1 turkey (12 to 14 pounds)
Canola oil

Directions

Slice two onions; set aside. Chop remaining onions.
In a large skillet, brown sausage and chopped onions. Add herb packet from the stuffing mixes. Stir in the raisins, pecans, celery and seasonings; simmer for 10 minutes. Add stuffing mixes and broth; mix well. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes.
Place reserved onions inside turkey. Add 6-7 cups stuffing. (Place remaining stuffing in a greased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish; cover and refrigerate.) Skewer openings, tie drumsticks together. Place on a rack in a roasting pan.
Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 4 to 4-1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 185°, basting often with oil. (Cover and bake reserved stuffing for 1 hour; uncover and bake 10 minutes longer.) When the turkey begins to brown, baste if needed and cover lightly with foil. Yield: 12-14 servings (12 cups stuffing).
