Herbed Apple Vegetable Saute Recipes

HERB AND APPLE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Put the bread cubes on a 13 by 18 by 1-inch baking sheet and bake them in the oven for 7 minutes.
• In a large saute pan, melt the butter and add the onion, celery, apples, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Saute for 10 minutes, until the mixture is soft.
• Combine the bread cubes and cooked vegetables in a large bowl and add the chicken stock, and almonds, if desired.
• Place the stuffing into the main cavity of the turkey and into the neck of the bird. I cook a 12-pound turkey for 2 1/2 hours at 350 degrees F in a preheated oven. Make sure the stuffing in the cavity is secured by wrapping the legs tightly with string.

SAUTEED APPLES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saute pan over medium heat. Add apples and onions; saute in the hot pan, adding salt, cumin, and balsamic vinegar, until onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.

BRAISED CINNAMON APPLES WITH SAUTEED JULIENNE VEGETABLES
