VERY MOIST AND FLAVORFUL ROAST TURKEY
Does your turkey need a boost of moisture and flavor? Try this! Tweak it to your own liking as much as your imagination wants. Carve the entire turkey and save the bones, joints, tail, wing tips, drippings, and reserved onion, garlic and celery (but NOT the skin) to make turkey soup. Mix the apple pieces into your dressing.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Cut butter into 1-tablespoon pieces, quarter the pieces, and refrigerate butter until needed.
- Use your fingers to loosen the skin over the turkey breast and thighs. Cut a hole in the turkey skin between tail and body (to affix legs); cut a hole on each side of the turkey beneath each wing (to affix wings). Rub the entire skin with vegetable oil.
- Toss apple and onion wedges, garlic cloves, and celery in a large bowl until combined; sprinkle poultry seasoning over the apple mixture and toss again to coat. Stuff the body and neck cavities with the apple mixture. Insert each wing tip into the hole under the wing to secure wings; insert both legs into hole near tail to secure legs.
- Place turkey onto a rack and set in a roasting pan. Insert cold butter pieces under the loosened skin, distributing the butter as evenly as possible.
- Roast the turkey in the preheated oven until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh, not touching bone, reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 3 1/2 hours. Check for doneness after 3 hours.
- Remove roasting pan containing turkey from oven and cover with aluminum foil, lightly pressing the foil directly onto the bird. Let the turkey rest for 40 minutes before carving.

MOI'S TURKEY AND DRESSING
My mom makes the very best cornbread dressing I've ever had. It makes a huge roaster pan and there is always plenty of leftover for us to take home. She loves to tell the same story every Christmas and Thanksgiving that she had the measurement for the Sage down perfect when spices still came in the little tins, like McCormicks. She used the whole small tin, and it was perfect. Now that most spices comes in bottles she had to experiment some to get it perfect. Just a note do not make the mistake of using Jiffy cornbread it is too sweet, regular yellow cornbread is best. I love old traditional recipes and had my Mom write this down for me to have for a family cookbook. And yes you can tell we are from the South since we make Dressing, not stuffing.

Steps:
- You will need a large roaster pan for this dressing.
- Cook cornbread according to pkg. directions. I use Martha White, not a sweet cornmix like Jiffy.
- Chop onion and celery finely, saute in one stick butter.I like to saute' my onions, but I add a small amount of water, enough to cover the onions and celery to finish cooking them.
- After cornbread has cooled crumble in pan. Add celery, onion and chopped eggs to the cornbread, along with any water that is left. Crumble a few slices of white bread, biscuits or I like to use about a half a loaf of day old French bread.
- Add sage, salt and pepper to cornbread. We use a lot of sage, so use what you need. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- All of this can be done the day before and then keep in the refrigerator until the turkey is cooked.
- We cook our turkey in a cooking bag. (This is where you can be as creative as you want with the turkey, JUST SAVE THE JUICES WHEN IT IS DONE.).
- Add chicken broth also, at least 1 and half or 2 of the broth, I use low sodium and then add as much of the turkey drippings as you need to make the mixture loose. I add a couple of raw eggs now. My mom never did.
- If the mixture is too dry and does not jiggle when you shake it add enough turkey juice from the pan or more broth.
- That is very important step my mom always emphasied, the dressing needs to be "loose" when you shake it. (my mom's words).
- At this time we taste it to see if we need more sage, pepper or salt, before we cook. .
- Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 1 to 1-1/2 hours until it is brown on top. The last half hour uncover it so it will brown. We always have someone sample it to see if done.

THE BEST TURKEY DRESSING (STUFFING)
This dressing is adapted from "The Silver Palate Cookbook. It's rich and is always a big hit. No other bread is needed on the Thanksgiving table. Cook your turkey about 12-15 minutes per lb. at 325 degrees, basting frequently.
