How to Make Apricot Almond Stuffing
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine dried apricots, almonds, bread cubes, onion, celery, and sage.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together chicken broth, eggs, butter, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and gently toss to combine. Make sure the bread is evenly moistened but not soggy.
- Stuff the prepared mixture into your chosen poultry (chicken, turkey, or game hens) or place it in a greased baking dish.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the stuffing is golden brown and heated through. If using a baking dish, cover with foil for the first 20-25 minutes to prevent drying out, then remove foil for the remaining time to allow browning.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
