COOKING: FRUIT-AND-NUT STUFFING

Today, Martha stuffs a free-range organic turkey from upstate New York
with
a fruit-and-nut stuffing that contains neither bread nor rice, the
conventional foundations for stuffing. Made from a cornucopia of dried
and
fresh fruit and nuts, this stuffing, which is rich in vitamins and
fiber,
offers up a tumult of color, like the floor of the woods just after
peak
leef-peeping season. Though it contains many ingredients that are not
native to the Americas "among them prunes, which originated in Western
Asia, currants, which hail from Greece, and macadamia nuts, natives of
Australia" its plenitude of ingredients is very much in the spirit of
the
first Thanksgiving feast, which included ducks, geese, venison,
lobsters,
clams, and sea bass in addition to turkey. You will need to soak the
dried
fruit overnight in bourbon (named for Bourbon County, Kentucky),
which,
aside from the whole raw cranberries in this recipe, is perhaps the
most
American of its ingredients.

If the nuts are salted, place them in a strainer, run cold water over
them,
and then dry on paper towels. After you've stuffed the turkey, insert
an
apple into the cavity to seal it. Sew the turkey with a trussing
needle and
string. Then truss the turkey with string and poultry lacers--
stainless-steel skewers used to secure the stuffing in the neck end of
the
cavity.

Always take care to stuff the bird just before cooking. To ensure that
the
stuffing cooks evenly, don't overstuff the bird. Never mix raw meat or
vegetables into a stuffing, and don't leave either stuffing or turkey
sitting out for more than two hours.

  RECIPE

FRUIT-AND-NUT STUFFING
Makes about 10 cups

18 whole pitted prunes
1/2 cup dried currants
1 cup dark raisins
24 dried apricot halves
1/4 cup bourbon
3 tart cooking apples, unpeeled, cored, chopped
3 large onions, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
4 tablespoons melted butter
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2/3 cup whole macadamia nuts, unsalted
2/3 cup whole cashews, unsalted
1 cup walnut pieces
2 cups whole raw cranberries
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon dried chervil leaves
1 teaspoon finely minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 eggs, slightly beaten

 1. Put the prunes, currants, raisins, and apricot halves in a bowl,
and
pour the bourbon over the fruit. Cover bowl, and soak overnight.

2. Combine the apples, onions, and celery in a large skillet along
with the
butter. Cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring occasionally,
until
the onions are soft and the celery is tender, about 10 minutes.

3. Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a skillet and add the nuts. Toast
them, stirring constantly, until golden.

4. Transfer the saut=E9ed onion mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add
the
macerated fruit, the toasted nuts, and all remaining ingredients.
Gently
mix the stuffing with 2 large spoons or your hands until evenly
blended.
Set the stuffing aside while you prepare the turkey for roasting.

5. After the turkey has been stuffed, any remaining stuffing can be
cooked
separately. Place stuffing in a buttered baking dish, cover and bake
at 350
degrees for about 45 minutes until heated through.
