Preparation

Step 1 : To prepare the turkey, start by preheating the oven to 180°C.

Step 2 : Then, wash and thoroughly dry the turkey, and season it with salt and pepper both inside and out.

Step 3 : In a bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, and oregano, then rub this mixture over the turkey.

Step 4 : Place the turkey in a roasting dish and pour chicken broth into the base.

Step 5 : Cover the turkey with aluminum foil and bake for about 3 hours, removing the foil during the last 30 minutes to brown.

Step 6 : To prepare the stuffing, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 7 : Add the onion, celery, and carrots, cooking until tender.

Step 8 : Then, add the nuts, raisins, apples, and crumbled bread, mixing well.

Step 9 : Pour chicken broth over the mixture and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, cooking until everything is well combined and heated through.

Step 10 : To stuff the turkey, fill it with the prepared mixture and tie the legs with kitchen twine to secure the filling.

Step 11 : Optionally, place some apple slices and fresh herb sprigs inside the turkey for added aroma.

Step 12 : Once the turkey is stuffed, place it back in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 more minutes, or until the stuffing is golden and the turkey reaches a safe internal temperature.

Step 13 : Finally, let the turkey rest before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
