TURKEY OF CHRISTMAS

Ingredients:

1 turkey of 3 kg
250 gr of dried plums
150 gr of raisins of grape
250 gr of apricots of damask
300 gr of lean pork
300 gr of lean beef
2 onions2 slices of bread
1 egg
olive oil
2 glasses of sherry
1 glass of white wine
cinnamon
4 cloves of garlic
50 gr of pinions
salt and black pepper

Procedure:

We have to put to dip all the fruits in the warm sherry. In a frying pan with little oil we fry the hash of onion and then we add the meats and the pinions and when the meat is cooked we add the fruits and a bit of the sherry.

Out of the fire we add the dipped bread in milk and the well-trodden egg, the cinnamon and salt and pepper; we mix well and then we leave to cool it.

We clean the turkey within and externally, we season it and refill it, sew with big needle. All the orifices have to remain well closed in order that the stuffed doesn’t escape.

We have to smear the turkey with oil and put it in a source to the oven. At the same time we have to add the cut onions and a few garlic cloves around it; we cover it with silver foil and cook in average oven two hours and a half.

If we want that it remains well brown, we withdraw the silver foil 20 minutes before, bathe with water and salt and lower a bit the oven.

This is the recipe of a traditional meal of Christmas. Who eats it at Christmas? I have never eaten stuffing turkey! I think it isn’t our custom.
