Ingredients

1 pound bread sliced
3 medium onions chopped
3 medium apples tart, chopped
1 1/2 cups ham fully cooked, diced
1 cup celery sliced
1 tablespoon savory dried
2 teaspoons lemon zest grated
1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest grated
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups almonds slivered, toasted
1/2 cup currants dried
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup apple juice
14 pound turkey

Directions

Cut bread into 1/2 inch cubes and place in a single layer on ungreased baking sheets.

Bake at 225 degrees F for 30-40 minutes, tossing occasionally until partially dried.

Meanwhile, in a skillet, sauté the next 10 ingredients in butter until onions and apple are tender, about 15 minutes.

Transfer to a large bowl.

Add the bread cubes, almonds, currants, broth and juice; toss well.

Just before baking, stuff the turkey.

Skewer openings; tie drumsticks together.

Place on a rack in a roasting pan.

Bake, uncovered at 325 degrees for 4-1/2 to 5 hours or until thermometer reads 185 degrees.

When turkey begins to brown, cover lightly with foil and baste if needed.
