HAZELNUT/ALMOND BREAD STUFFING
INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup hazelnuts or almonds
3/4 cup butter
2-1/2 cups chopped celery
2 cups chopped onions
1 apple (unpeeled), diced
4 tsp dried sage ( I use mixed poultry seasoning)
1-1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 lb sliced pancetta, prosciutto or smoked ham, diced
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
DIRECTIONS:
On baking sheet, bake nuts in 350°F (180°C) oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until fragrant. If using hazelnuts, rub vigorously in tea towel to remove skins; coarsely chop. Set aside.
In large skillet, melt butter over medium heat; cook celery, onions, garlic, apple, sage, pepper, rosemary, salt and pancetta for 10 to 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Place bread, parsley and nuts in bowl; add celery mixture and toss well. It is now ready for stuffing the turkey. Stuffing can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 day or frozen for up to 1 week; if frozen, thaw in refrigerator for 24 hours before continuing.
