Preparation
- Step 1
In a nonreactive saucepan, simmer the figs in the Madeira for 15 minutes. Drain, pat dry and roughly chop. Place the figs, prosciutto and pecans in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Step 2
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the parsley, celery, salt, pepper and herbs and cook for 5 minutes more. Place the mixture in a large bowl, add the cubed bread and chicken broth and toss to combine. Add the fig mixture and toss to combine.
- Step 3
Fill the bird loosely with stuffing; place any remaining stuffing in a casserole and moisten with chicken broth. Roast the bird. Bake the extra stuffing, covered, for about 30 minutes, before serving.
