ROAST TURKEY WITH VEGETABLE STUFFING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Melt butter in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook celery and onion in butter, stirring frequently, until onion is tender. Stir in parsley, sage, marjoram, tarragon and salt. Mix bread cubes, carrots, zucchini and mushrooms in large bowl. Add celery mixture; toss.
• Fill wishbone area of turkey with stuffing first. Fasten neck skin to back with skewer. Fold wings across back with tips touching. Fill body cavity lightly with stuffing. (Place any remaining stuffing in small ungreased baking dish; cover and refrigerate. Place in oven with turkey the last 30 minutes of roasting.) Tuck drumsticks under band of skin at tail, or tie together with heavy string, then tie to tail.
• Place turkey, breast side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of inside thigh and does not touch bone.
• Roast uncovered 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours or until thermometer reads 165°F and drumsticks move easily when lifted or twisted. Thermometer inserted in center of stuffing should read 165°F.When two-thirds done, cut band of skin or string holding legs. Place a tent of aluminum foil loosely over turkey when it begins to turn golden brown. Let turkey stand 20 minutes before carving. Cover and refrigerate any remaining turkey and stuffing separately.

PASSOVER STUFFING FOR TURKEY

Steps:

• Crumble matzoh and soak in colander. Make sure that the matzoh is soft. Don't be afraid to use your hands to mix the matzoh.
• In the mean time saute onions,carrotts,& celery. I usually use olive oil to cover pan. Saute everything until onions,celery and carrotts show signs of carmelization. Remove from pan. Don't forget to salt and pepper to taste.
• Put chicken livers in and cover the pan with enough olive oil to saute livers. While livers are sauting cut them up in small pieces. Use salt and pepper to taste. When livers are sufficienty cooked add the onions, carrotts and celery. Add poulty seasoning to taste. I am somewhat heavy handed on the poultry seasoning. After all your going to add the matzoh next.
• Next add the drained matzoh. Mix everything togeter. Taste to see if it needs more salt or pepper. If you like your stuffing somewhat wet you can add some chicken stock to it.
• This really is delicious. Cook is separately. Serve with poultry.

TURKEY IN A BAG WITH MOLLY'S PASSOVER VEGETABLE STUFFING RECIPE

Steps:

• For the Vegetable Stuffing: In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and cook the onions and garlic until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the celery, carrots, parsnip and zucchini, and toss well. Cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Drain the raisins and add them to the vegetables with the parsley. Stir in 1 tablespoon each of the matzo meal, matzo cake meal and Passover cereal (if using). Add the red wine and mix well. Stir in the remaining dry ingredients, a little at a time, until the stuffing is moist and soft but firm in texture. Season with salt and pepper. Cool. Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Clean the turkey and pat it dry with paper towels. Spoon the cooled stuffing into the cavity and close with a needle and thread or skewers. Rub the outside of the turkey with the oil and preserves and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grease the inside (seamless unprinted side) of a large brown paper bag, or use a large plastic baking bag. Grease the paper bag very carefully; if any part is not greased, it might catch fire. Place the turkey inside the bag, neck first and breast down. If you're using a paper bag, fold the open ends and seal it with paper clips or staples; if using a plastic baking bag, tie it with the plastic ties supplied. Place the turkey on a large rack over a roasting pan lined with heavy foil. Bake for 3 hours or more, depending on the size of the turkey (15 minutes to the pound is a perfect guide). About 30 minutes before the turkey is done, slit the bag under the bird and let the liquid drain into a saucepan. When all the juices are poured off, use a scissors to cut the bag open and remove the turkey. Turn it so the breast is on top. Return the turkey to the oven to brown for the remaining cooking time, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thigh reaches 165 degrees. Skim the fat from the juices, discard it and heat the juices. Remove the stuffing and transfer to a heated bowl. Carve the turkey and arrange the slices, legs, and wings on a large platter. Serve the juices in a gravy boat. This recipe yields 16 servings.
