Ingredients:

• 3 Tbsp. (45mL) Mrs. Dash® Garlic & Herb Seasoning Blend
• 1/2 cup (120mL) chopped hazelnuts
• 2 Tbsp. (30mL) butter
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 1 1/2 apples, ideally Granny Smith or Golden Delicious, peeled, cored and diced into 1/4 inch (6cm) cubes
• 1/4 cup (60mL) apple juice
• 1 egg
• 4 cups (960mL) day-old country-style bread, cut into 1/2 inch (1.25mL) cubes, slighted dried
• 1/3 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp (2.5mL) dried sage
• 1 cup (240mL) parsley, stems removed, chopped coarsely
• 1 cup (240mL) chicken stock

Directions:

1. In a pre-heated 325°F oven, toast hazelnuts on a cookie sheet for 10 minutes. Let cool and reserve.
2. Melt butter in a large sauté pan over medium high heat and sauté onions, celery and apples for approximately 10 minutes, or until they begin to brown.
3. Remove pan from the heat and stir in apple juice, using the liquid to loosen up any brown bits from the pan.
4. In a large bowl, beat egg. Add bread, Mrs. Dash® Garlic & Herb Seasoning Blend, cinnamon, sage, parsley, chicken stock, hazelnuts and the sauteed onions, celery and apples. Toss thoroughly.
5. Place stuffing in the turkey cavity (but do not over-stuff) and cook with bird. Bake any leftover stuffing in a shallow baking dish at 350°F for approximately 30 minutes, or until a crisp crust has formed on top (all of the stuffing can be cooked in a large baking dish if desired).
