3 celery stalks, chopped
2 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
1.cup coarsely chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
2-3 tablespoons each chopped fresh Italian parsley and sage 2 teaspoons fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
Good pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper
2.packets Ripple Pure, or 3 packets Ripple Balanced
1.stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
2.cups turkey, chicken, or vegetable broth (plus more, if needed), hot
Add the onion and celery to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the cooked vegetables to the bowl.
Stir in the apples, nuts, parsley, sage, and thyme, salt and pepper, and Ripple; and stir well. Moisten with the melted butter and broth, tossing to coat well and adding more as necessary. The stuffing should be just moist enough to barely stick together.
Now, you have choices: Either spoon the hot stuffing loosely into the turkey, truss, and bake. Or, spread into a buttered 3-quart baking dish and bake, covered with foil, at 375℉ 30 minutes; remove foil and continue baking until crisped on top, about 15 minutes more.
