Apple-chestnut stuffing
Description
Preheat the oven to 190 degrees. Grease a baking dish and set aside. Arrange the bread in a single layer on two baking sheets. Bake for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and celery, season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the apples and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. In the same saucepan, bring the broth to a boil. Remove from heat and set aside. To the onion-apple mixture, add the bread, sage, chestnuts, and eggs. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well. Add half of the broth and stir. Continue adding broth until the stuffing is moist but not wet. Transfer the stuffing to the prepared baking dish, cover with greased aluminum foil, and refrigerate. When the turkey is ready, place the stuffing in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Perfect served with pasta, meat, and vegetables.
