Bread for Stuffing
------------------
12 T olive oil (it's just short of 1/2 C)
3 T maple syrup
6 eggs
3 C pecan meal
3/4 C arrowroot
Combine pecan meal and arrowroot and set aside. Combine oil, syrup, eggs
and beat well. Add to dry ingredients. Mix well. It will be a batter not
a dough. Oil and dust a 9 x 13 inch pan, add batter and bake at 350 for 30
minutes. Turn out and cut bread in to small cubes and use with your
favorite stuffing recipe in place of dried bread crumbs. *Do NOT dry the
cubes before using for stuffing!

I'm not going to bake the recipe into cubes as its an extra step only to be
ground through meat grinder. I'll put the pecan meal through grinder with
giblets/onion. Maple syrup, eggs, poultry seasoning in with ground beef then
add the ground giblet, pecan meal, onion mix. I'm sure your recipe is fine. I
wasn't specific.

Chicken Stuffing
----------------
1 1/2 cups blanched almonds, ground
1 egg
1/2 tsp salt (optional)
1 onion, chopped
2 tsp mixed dried herbs (or 1 1/2 Tsp fresh herbs) - I usually use parsley,
sage and lemon thyme
Mix or blend all ingredients together and spoon into chicken cavity.
Note: When I first started making this, I was soaking the almonds and
peeling them myself. Now I just buy blanched almonds, and so the result is
a bit drier. Sometimes, I add a small amount of water to moisten the
mixture slightly.

Adding Chestnuts to Stuffing
----------------------------
You might try using chestnuts as part of a stuffing for roasted poultry,
particularly turkey. My Grandmother always added chestnuts to her stuffing.
It adds a very pleasant nuttiness to the stuffing. Cut the chestnuts in
half and boil them in water until tender then remove shells and inner peel
or boil in the intact shells with a cross hatch cut in the flat bottom to
aid peeling. Cool and crumble the pieces into a large mixing bowl. Add
sauteed ground meats and sausage, sauteed onions or shallots or garlic,
... egg and herbs and seasonings of your choice. Blend well and stuff.

Turkey with Fruit-and-Nut Stuffing
----------------------------------

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 orange juice
3 tart cooking apples, unpeeled, cored, chopped
3 large onions, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
6 tablespoons olive oil
2/3 cup whole macadamia nuts, unsalted
2/3 cup whole brazil nuts
1 cup walnut pieces
2 cups whole raw cranberries
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon dried chervil leaves
1 teaspoon finely minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 teaspoons coarse sea 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 orange juice over the fruit. Cover bowl, and soak overnight.
2. Combine the apples, onions, and celery in a large skillet along with
four T olive oil. 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 olive oil in a skillet and add the nuts. Toast them,
stirring constantly, until golden.
4. Transfer the sautéed 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 an oiled baking dish, cover and bake at 350
degrees for about 45 minutes until heated through.
