Directions
Cut bread into ½ inch cubes and place in a single layer on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 225 degrees F for 30 to 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 4½ to 5 hours or until thermometer reads 185 degrees.
When turkey begins to brown, cover lightly with foil and baste if needed.
