How to Cook Turkey Stuffed with Chestnut & Apple
- For the stuffing, chop the chestnuts, peel and finely chop the shallots and mix together with the parsley, egg and salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
- Peel, core and chop the apples. Place them in a pan and cook for 5 minutes over a medium heat, stirring continuously. Mix into the stuffing along with the belly pork, finely chopped. Put the stuffing into the neck cavity of the turkey, then sew up the opening with thick cooking string.
- Place the turkey into a roasting tin, rub the skin with butter and season liberally with salt and freshly ground pepper. Roast in a preheated moderate oven (Mk 4 - 350ºF - 180ºC), basting occasionally, for 3½ - 4 hours.
- Transfer the turkey to a warmed serving dish. Add the Madeira to the roasting pan, scrape to deglaze the pan, then place over a high heat and boil for 3 minutes. Spoon over the turkey and serve hot, garnished with your choice - grapes, cranberries, apple rings, watercress - whatever makes your day complete!

If you can't get ready-to-use chestnuts, buy them fresh and cook in boiling water for 15 minutes. Drain, cool, skin and chop.

Reviews of Turkey Stuffed with Chestnut & Apple
![]() This recipe is a keeper! it got rave reviews at Thanksgiving dinner, and still tasted good the following day. Cooked chestnuts in a can were hard to find and were expensive, although they tasted fabulous. I haven't tried it yet, but I may substitute walnuts next time and see what they taste like. tinaM (6 reviews) |
