Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup (4 ounces) pecans
1 (1-pound) challah loaf (or other egg bread), cut into 1-inch cubes (about 12 cups)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound bulk sausage meat (usually sold in a tube)
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces
3 medium onions, chopped
4 large celery ribs, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon allspice
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup dried tart (Morello) cherries (4 ounces; see Cooks' note:s)

1 1/2 cups turkey stock or reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Special Equipment
3 1/2- to 4-quart shallow ceramic or glass baking dish (or two 2-quart shallow baking dishes)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Generously butter baking dish.
  • Roast pecans in a pie or cake pan until fragrant and insides are pale golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
  • Divide bread between 2 large baking sheets and bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until golden, 15 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then cook sausage, stirring and breaking up lumps, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer sausage to a very large bowl.
  • Add butter to skillet and heat over medium heat until foam subsides. Add onions, celery, garlic, allspice, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown lightly, 12 to 15 minutes. Add vegetables to sausage with bread, cherries, and pecans, and toss to mix well.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, then whisk in stock, cream, and parsley, and pour over stuffing. Stir stuffing well, then spread it out in baking dish. Chill if turkey is more than 1 hour from being done.
  • When turkey is done, increase oven temperature to 425°F. Cover stuffing tightly with foil and bake until hot throughout, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake until top is golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes more.

CHALLAH AND LEEK TURKEY STUFFING



Challah and Leek Turkey Stuffing image

I've made this stuffing for my family every Christmas and Thanksgiving for about seven years. I keep wanting to try a new one, but they keep saying this one is really good. It's not low calorie or low fat, but I only make it twice a year, so I guess that's ok. I was trying to reproduce the stuffing my mom used to make when I dreamed this one up. I didn't get it quite right, but once I hit this one, they told me to stop trying. Vary the amount of ingredients as desired (the quantities change a little every time based on the size of the bird, though in reality I just add or subtract bread as required). The recipe below will stuff a 15 lb turkey. I don't know what it turns out like in a casserole because I still stuff the turkey proper.
