Thanksgiving help with the turkey - Apple Nut Cranberry Stuffing

Apple Nut Cranberry Stuffing

6 cups bread, cubed
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
3/4 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped
½ cup raisins
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
2 peeled apples, coarsely chopped
½ cup chopped celery
1 ½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper

1 cup chicken or turkey broth

Cook the butter with the onions until onions are tender. Put all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and thoroughly combine. Add enough of the broth to moisten the bread cubes. You might need a more than called. It’s hard to ruin stuffing!

Either stuff you turkey with this stuffing or place in a greased baking dish and bake until brown on top.

Use a sturdy, quality bread for the stuffing as the white sandwich bread tends to turn into slush. Sour dough works well or a crusty loaf or two from the day-old bakery counter. The bread should be a bit dry and stale so why spend money on fresh?
