Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oil in a nonstick skillet. Saute onion and celery until onion begins to brown.
- Step 2
Add mushrooms, apples and parsley, and continue cooking until apples soften and mushrooms release their liquid.
- Step 3
Reduce heat, and stir in dried cherries, dried apples, sage and thyme. Continue cooking until mixture is well blended.
- Step 4
Add bread and stock, and mix well. Season with salt and pepper, then stuff the mixture into a 12- to 14-pound turkey just before cooking. Stuffing may be made ahead and frozen for a week or two. Or it may be refrigerated for two days.

I've been using this recipe for many years, and there's very little leftover after Thanksgiving dinner. I substitute corn bead instead of stale bread and it really adds a nice flavor. I've even used veggietable broth instead of chicken broth and it's great for our vegetarian friends and family.
