It's actually an unbelievable turkey.

Apple, Herb & Toasted Almond Dressing
-------------------------------------
1 loaf multigrain bread (cut into 1 inch cubes)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
2 cups medium-diced yellow onion (2 large)
2 cups medium-diced celery (3 large stalks)
2 Granny Smith apples, unpeeled, cored and large diced
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary leaves
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup sliced toasted almonds

Saute all the veggies & apples in the butter until they are soft, season with salt & pepper. Add bread cubes, almonds & chicken stock. Cover and let sit for about 20-30 minutes. Stuff your bird and go. This dressing is off the motha fuckin chain btw. It sounds like a kind of strange mix of taste, but it is fabulous.
