Wholesome Apple Hazelnut Stuffing Recipes

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, saute celery and onion in oil for 4 minutes. Add the carrot, parsley and rosemary; saute 2-4 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer., In a large bowl, combine the vegetable mixture, bread cubes, apples and hazelnuts. In a small bowl, combine the egg, cider, pepper and salt. Add to stuffing mixture and mix well., Transfer to an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Cover and bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Uncover; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 165°.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a 2- to 3-quart glass or ceramic baking dish.
• Arrange the sourdough cubes in a large rimmed baking pan in a single layer. Bake until slightly dried out, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the hazelnuts and a large pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, until nutty smelling and toasted, about 4 minutes. Spoon the nuts onto a clean dish towel and gently but firmly rub the hazelnuts to remove some of the brown skins (it's okay if some of the skins remain). Roughly chop the nuts.
• Add the remaining 5 tablespoons butter to the skillet and melt over medium heat. Add the celery, garlic, onion, rosemary and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the currants and cook, stirring, just until plump, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
• Add the hazelnuts and vegetables to the bowl with the bread and mix to combine. Whisk the chicken broth together with the egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl. Add it to the stuffing mixture and stir until well mixed.
• Spoon the stuffing into the prepared baking dish and bake until hot and golden brown on top, 35 to 45 minutes. Garnish with the rosemary sprig and serve.

Steps:

• Prepare Turkey:
• Rub salt all over turkey, inside and out. Cover turkey with cold water and let sit for one hour in the sink (this will get rid of blood and gamey taste).
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Mix spices with apples.
• Put 1/2 of apple mixture inside turkey under white meat (front). Using the other half of apple mixture and quartered orange, stuff under the dark meat (back) inside turkey.
• Prepare basting sauce #1 by heating butter and adding juices and spices.
• Put turkey in roasting pan and add basting sauce.
• Roast, covered with foil, for 2 hours.
• Prepare Stuffing:
• Put hazelnuts in food processor and chop to medium coarseness.
• In a large skillet, brown pork sausage and drain. Add 3 teaspoons of butter to pan and fry chicken until done. Sauté onions, celery, and sage until translucent. Add ham and rest of vegetables in large bowl, adding the pork, chicken and bread, mixing well. Add eggs and Amaretto. Finally, add turkey stock to moisten.
• Put in baking pan and bake 1 hour at 350 °F.
• Finish Roasting Turkey:
• Remove foil and roast until internal temperature is 175°F, basting every 15 minutes.
• Prepare #2 basting sauce by heating butter and maple syrup.
• Remove bird from oven when it reaches 175°F. Let rest - turkey will continue to cook, reaching 180°F in the next 15 minutes.
• Baste with #2 sauce until all sauce is gone.
• Remove fruit from inside.

Steps:

• Pre heat your oven to 320 degrees fahrenheit or 160 degrees celsius.
• First, make the filling by placing all the ingredients in a large bowl and tossing gently with your fingers until the apple slices are evenly coated. Set aside for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Now make the topping by mixing the flour and brown sugar in a bowl. Add in the butter and rub in with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
• Next, add the hazelnuts to the topping mixture and, using your hands, toss until all the ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
• Very lightly grease the pie dish with butter. (I like to use a nice glass baking dish). Transfer the apple mixture evenly into the dish. Using your fingers, sprinkle the brown sugar topping evenly over the apples.
• Place the dish on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 45 minutes, until the top is lightly golden. When ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool for about an hour.

Steps:

• Fry onions in the butter. Stir in nuts; fry until golden. Remove from the heat, add apricots, breadcrumbs, parsley and lemon zest. Mix in the egg and season. Use half to stuff the neck end of the turkey; shape the rest into balls.
• Put the balls in a buttered baking dish, then drizzle with oil. Bake for 30 mins until golden, or roast them around the turkey.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C.
• Combine the chopped figs, hazelnuts, orange zest and allspice.
• Using an apple corer, remove the apple cores.
• Place the apples in a baking dish and loosely press the fig mixture into the centre of the apples.
• Combine the sugar, butter and orange juice and drizzle it over the apples.
• Bake the apples for 25 minutes or until tender, then set aside for 10 minutes for the sauce to thicken slightly.
• Serve with the sauce spooned over the apples with cream or icecream.
