Answer 1

Oven Roasted Turkey with Chestnut-Apricot Dressing
1 8 to 10 lb Whole Turkey

Roast Turkey according to instructions.

Chestnut - Apricot Dressing
This is baked separately from the turkey

2 lb Veal* Forcemeat (very finely minced meat mixed with heavy cream)
1 lb Chestnuts, cooked
1/2 loaf White Bread
1 lb Dried Apricots
1 lb Dried Raisins
1 3/4 pint Fresh Milk
1 lb Portabella Mushrooms
1/2 lb Green Onions, sliced
8 fl oz Brandy
1/2 oz Fresh Thyme
1 lb Onions, chopped
4 oz Parsley, chopped
Nutmeg Powder
Salt
Pepper

Soak raisins in brandy overnight. Slice white bread into small pieces without the crust. Soak bread cubes in milk. Cut the dried apricots into a small dice. Cut the chestnuts into small pieces. Cut the Portabella mushrooms into small pieces and saute them together with the onions. Let the mixture cool down. Mix all the ingredients with the forcemeat and season to taste. Spread the mixture onto greaseproof paper or aluminum foil and make an even roll. Steam** for approximately one hour. Unwrap, slice into even slices and serve with the roasted Turkey.

Yield: 10 Servings

*Beef can be substituted. A butcher or the meat section of your supermarket can mince the meat for you.

**Alternative cooking method is to place the mixture in a large glass or metal baking pan and cook in a 350F oven for about an hour. Serve in squares or spoon into a serving dish.
