Instructions
Heat oven to 350F. Discard giblets and neck or reserve for another use.
Remove excess fat from goose.
On rack in shallow roasting pan, place goose breast side up. Fasten neck skin to back of goose with skewer. Fold wings across back of goose so tips are touching. Pierce skin all over with fork so fat can drain. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of inside thigh and does not touch bone. (Do not add water or cover goose.)
Roast uncovered 3 hours to 3 hours 30 minutes (if necessary, place tent of foil loosely over goose during last hour to prevent excessive browning), removing excess fat from pan occasionally. Meanwhile, spray 2-quart casserole with cooking spray. In 3-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook celery and onion in butter, stirring occasionally, until tender; remove from heat. Stir n remaining ingredients except gravy. Spoon into casserole. Cover and refrigerate until baking time.
Bake stuffing covered alongside goose for last 35 to 45 minutes of roasting time, removing foil during last 10 minutes of baking, until center is hot and edges are beginning to brown. Goose is done when thermometer reads at least 165F and legs move easily when lifted or twisted. Reserve drippings if making gravy.
Let stand 15 to 20 minutes for easiest carving.
