Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Make sure you season the turkey well for this dish. I think chestnuts make are a fantastic ingredient in stuffing.
1 turkey weighing 10kg
300g dried chestnuts, soaked overnight
300g apples (granny smith
300g pears (hard)
200g dried black prunes, soaked overnight
100g shelled nuts
50g minced lamb's meat
50g pancetta
50g butter
Two small glasses of cognac
Sage and rosemary
Salt
Soak the chestnuts in cold water overnight. Soften the prunes in the same way. Then clean and gut the turkey. Boil the chestnuts for an hour (without mashing them), drain and place them in a bowl.
Add the prunes (make sure they are well drained), the shelled nuts, the apples and pears, sliced, but not too thinly, into pieces. Mix and then add the lamb's meat and chopped pancetta. Add salt, cognac and mix again before stuffing the turkey with the filling. Tie the legs tightly so that the mix won't spill out while it's cooking. Place the turkey in a roasting pan with butter, sage and rosemary and cook at 180C/gas mark 4 for at least 3 hours.
