Aromatic Roasted Vegetable Dressing

Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups chopped carrots cut into ½ inch pieces
  • 2 cups chunked potatoes unpeeled
  • 4 or 5 shallots type of onion, peeled and cut in half (1 cup)
  • 2 small onions peeled and cut into chunks
  • ½ turkey or chicken broth
  • 1 tart cooking apple cored and cut into small dice
  • ½ to asted chopped pecans
  • 2 cups packaged stuffing mix
  • ½ cup dry white wine or chicken stock or apple juice
  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage or 2 teaspoons dried leaves crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves crumbled
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Swirl olive oil over large roasting pan, then add carrots, potatoes, shallots, onion and broth and stir to coat.
  • Cook in the oven, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and lightly browned, about 1 hour. Remove from oven.
  • Lower oven temperature to 350F.
  • Add remaining ingredients (except butter) and mix until thoroughly coated.
  • Turn into a baking dish sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Dot top with butter, if desired, and bake for about 1 hour, or until top is browned and dressing is heated through.
  • If you use this as a stuffing, it’s plenty for a 12 – 14 pound turkey. Makes about 10 cups, to serve 8 with leftovers.
