INSTRUCTIONS
STUFFING
Preheat oven to 400F. Divide bread between 2 large baking sheets. Bake
until golden, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Transfer to large
bowl.
Melt butter in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add onions and cook
until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Reduce heat to
medium. Add mushrooms; stir until mushrooms begin to soften and release
juices, about 5 minutes. Add celery and stir 2 minutes. Mix contents of
skillet into bread cubes. Mix in chestnuts, thyme, rosemary and nutmeg.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared one day ahead. Cover
and refrigerate.)
To bake stuffing in turkey:
Mix 1/2 cup chicken broth into stuffing. Fill main turkey cavity with
stuffing. Mix enough chicken broth into remaining stuffing to moisten
(about 1/2 to 3/4 cup chicken broth, depending on amount of remaining
stuffing). Spoon remaining stuffing into buttered baking dish. Cover
stuffing with buttered aluminum foil. Bake stuffing in a dish alongside
turkey until heated through, about 45 minutes.
To bake all stuffing in pan:
Preheat oven to 350F. Butter 15x10x2-inch baking dish. Mix 1 1/2 cups broth
into stuffing. Transfer to prepared dish. Cover with buttered foil. Bake
until heated through, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
Makes 16 Servings (About 19 cups).
