Cast iron pan or pot (not absolutely needed, but it makes a big difference in taste)

Stuffing

Modified From: The Joy of Cooking

Enough for a 14-17 pound turkey

Slice into 1/2 inch cubes and set aside:
1 pound sliced white bread, or have ready 10 cups lightly packed bread cubes

Heat in a large skillet over medium high-heat until the foam subsides:
4-8 tablespoons unsalted butter.

Add and cook, stirring until tender, about 5 minutes:
2 cups chopped onions
1 cup finely chopped celery, including leaves

While onions, celery, and butter are cooking, cook, breaking into small pieces and cook until no longer pink, 8-10 minutes:
1 pound pork sausage.

Drain all oil except 2 tablespoons, then add and cook until tender:
4 cups diced peeled green apples

When cooked, remove onions, celery, and butter from heat and stir in:
about 1/3 cup chopped fresh rosemary, sage, and marjoram (we bought the fresh pack of “poultry herbs” in the produce section)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated or ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cloves

Stir both sausage and apple mixture and onion, celery, butter, and herb mixture into the prepared bread crumbs. Stir in a little at a time, until lightly moist but not packed:
1/4 cup chicken stock
2 large eggs, well beaten

Turn into a greased 13x9x2 baking pan. Bake in 350 degree F oven until the top has formed a crust and the stuffing is well heated, 25-40 minutes.

Hard boiled eggs

Place 6-12 eggs in one layer in a saucepan.
Cover the eggs with cold tap water, 1/2“ to 1” over the top of the eggs.
Bring the eggs to a rolling boil.
Turn off the heat and cover the saucepan with a lid.
Let the eggs cook in the hot water for 12 minutes.
Stop the cooking process by running cold water over the eggs until they are cool to the touch (and ice water bath is fine, but not needed).
