    Recipe Introduction


    The stuffing of dried fruits and nuts solves n oft-asked question at Passover, while also making this dish
    appropriate for Sukkot and Tu b'Shevat.

    List of Ingredients




    Turkey w/Fruit and Nuts Stuffing



    1 turkey, preferably a hen, about 9 lb.
    salt and pepper
    margarine or oil for roasting
    12 oz. Turkey meat (ground)
    4 oz. chopped onion
    4 oz. blond raisins (sultanas)
    5 oz. chopped, pitted, dried dates
    5 oz. chopped, pitted, prunes
    5 oz. chopped, dried apricots
    5 oz. chopped, dried figs
    2 oz. whole almonds
    (blanched or not, take your 2 oz. pine nuts
    pick!) (pignoli)
    4 fl. oz. Port (or substitute brandy)

    Recipe





    Fry the ground turkey meat gently with the chopped onions, drain off the fat that tries out. Stir in the dried fruits, nuts, pine nuts, salt and pepper to taste, and the port. Mix it well and stuff the washed and dried turkey.

    Truss the turkey, rub with margarine or oil and roast in the way you
    normally do a turkey, allowing 20 minutes per pound of bird in a two-phase oven: have the oven at 425F (220C) when you first put the bird in. immediately turn the oven down to 325F or 170C, and leave it at that temp for the duration of roasting.

    Serves 6—8
