Preparation

  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees, and butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. (The oven can be anywhere from 350 to 400 degrees, if you need to cook both the stuffing and the turkey in it.)
  2. Soak mushrooms in 2 cups warm water about 30 minutes. Drain, reserving liquid. Thickly slice mushrooms. Meanwhile simmer Calvados in a saucepan until reduced to about 5 ounces.
  3. Melt remaining butter in large pan, add onions, and saute until transparent. Sprinkle with salt if onions are browning too fast. Add sliced mushrooms, and saute 2 minutes. Add bread, mushroom liquid, chopped parsley, rosemary and sage. Stir in reduced Calvados, applesauce, raisins, nuts and enough stock so mixture is moist but not wet. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  4. Turn into buttered baking dish. Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, until firm and crusty.
