A tempting Thanksgiving goose is a family tradition I've kept up. Paired with moist, lightly sweet apple-raisin stuffing, it's a special main dish that makes us count our blessings. -Denise Goedeken, Platte Center, Nebraska Ingredients:
1 domestic goose (10 to 12 pounds) |
1-1/4 teaspoons salt, divided |
1 cup chopped celery |
1 cup chopped onion |
2 tablespoons butter |
3 cups chopped peeled apples |
2 cups raisins |
8 cups cubed day-old white bread |
2 to 3 tablespoons sugar |
2 eggs |
1/2 cup apple cider |
1/2 cup water |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle the inside of the goose with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Prick skin well. In a skillet, saute celery and onion in butter; transfer to a bowl. Add the apples, raisins, bread, sugar and remaining salt.
2. In a small bowl, beat eggs, cider and water. Pour over bread mixture and toss lightly. Stuff into the goose. Place with breast side up on a rack in a large shallow roasting pan.
3. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 3 to 3-1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 180°. Drain fat from pan as it accumulates. Remove stuffing before carving goose. Yield: 10 servings.
