stuffing This is simplicity itself and tastes just gorgeous! The ingredients list is long but worthwhile I feel. It is adapted from The Wine Lover Cooks Italian by Brian St. Pierre.

Marsala Turkey Stuffing

1 finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic
1lb minced pork
8 ounces Italian sausages removed from casing
2 cups cubed sourdough bread
zest of 1 orange
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 tbsp chopped fresh sage
1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
1 1/4 cups quartered prunes
3 tbsp chopped hazelnuts
1/2 cup grated parmesan
1/2 cup dry Marsala
pepper and olive oil

Cook the onion and the garlic in olive oil until soft. Add pork and sausage meat and cook until lightly brown. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

In a bowl combine breadcrumbs, zest and juice, sage, thyme, prunes, nuts, parmesan, Marsala and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the cooked meats and mix well. And there you go - stuff the bird!
