Instructions
In a Dutch oven, saute celery and onion in butter until tender.
Remove from the heat; stir in the bread cubes, apples, raisins, salt, thyme, sage and pepper.
Just before baking, loosely stuff turkey with 4 cups stuffing.
Place remaining stuffing in a greased 2-qt. baking dish; refrigerate until ready to bake. Skewer turkey openings; tie drumsticks together.
Place breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan.
Brush with melted butter.
Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 3-3/4 to 4 hours or until a thermometer reads 180° for the turkey and 165° for the stuffing, basting occasionally with pan drippings. (Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.)
Bake additional stuffing, covered, for 20-30 minutes. Uncover; bake 10 minutes longer or until browned. Cover turkey and let stand for 20 minutes before removing stuffing and carving turkey. If desired, thicken pan drippings for gravy.
