Recipe Ingredients

1/4 cup Toscana Olives Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Paper bag
10 lb Turkey, whole
6 cup Dry corn bread, crumbled
2 tsp Thyme
2 tsp Sage
2 tsp Minced parsley
1/4 cup Port
1/2 cup Prunes, pitted & chopped
1/2 cup Green seedless grapes
1 cup Diced apples
1 cup Minced onion

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil inside of a large,
unprinted paper grocery bag. Wash and pat turkey dry.
In a large bowl mix corn-bread crumbs with thyme, sage, and
parsley. Set aside.

In a saucepan over medium heat, simmer port, prunes, grapes, and
apples for 15 minutes. In a skillet over medium-high heat, saute
onion in olive oil until soft but not browned (8 to 10 minutes). Add fruit
mixture and sauteed onion to bread crumbs and mix well.
Stuff cavity of turkey with bread stuffing. Lace opening shut with
kitchen twine. Dot exterior of turkey with small pieces of butter.
Place turkey inside prepared sack, roll opening of sack to seal
tightly, and place sack in a large roasting pan. Place in oven and
roast for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. During the last 30 minutes, tear away top
of bag to let exterior brown. To test for doneness, pierce a leg with
the tip of a sharp knife. The juice should spurt out a clear yellow;
if it is pink, roast the turkey for 10 to 15 minutes longer.

Note: If you are concerned about chemicals in the paper of the bag,
you may want to line the bottom of the bag with aluminum foil or a
rack.
