Cooking
with Wine
Giblets from turkey
5 cups chopped onion
3 cubes butter
5 cloves garlic
8 to 10 cups toast cubes
2 loaves cornbread, crumbled
2 tbs. salt
2 tsp. sage
2 tbs. rosemary
2 cups diced apple
1-1/2 cup dried apricot, diced
1 cup diced grapefruit or kumquat
2 to 3 cups chopped walnuts
4 tbs. Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup brandy
1/2 cup dry vermouth

Recipe intended for 18- to 22-lb. turkey. Can be cut in half.

Simmer giblets, then dice, setting stock aside. Saute onion in butter, add garlic, cook until transparent. Place other ingredients in large bowl. Pour onion/butter/garlic mixture over and gently blend. Add diced giblets. If mixture seems dry, add stock. Stuff turkey carefully. Don't pack it - stuffing will expand. Put remaining stuffing in baking dish, cover, bake about one hour, checking periodically for dryness. (If dry, add stock).
