Ingredients:
1 lb onion, peeled (3 medium)
2 apples, peeled and cored (11 oz.)
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon oil
1 1/2 lbs bacon
1 orange, zest of (or 2 clementines)
1 lb loaf store-bought gingerbread, crumbled (makes 5 cups)
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (approximately)
Directions:
1. Finely chop the onions and apple, using a food processor or by hand.
2. Heat the butter and oil in a large wide saucepan and fry both onions and apples until soft, about 10-15 minutes.
3. Now very finely chop the bacon in the processor, and add this to the softened onion and apple mixture.
4. Cook everything, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes more; then add the orange zest.
5. Take the pan off the heat and let it cool a little; then mix in the gingerbread crumbs.
6. Add the beaten eggs and pepper; mix well.
7. You can use the stuffing to stuff the cavity of your turkey, or cook all of it in a buttered baking dish or loaf pan.
8. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes.
9. Let the cooked stuffing sit in its terrine for 10 minutes before turning it out and slicing it.
