Stuffing

  • 1 lb chopped turkey or ground pork
  • 1 1/2 cup fresh or unfrozen cranberries
  • 1 1/2 cup grated potatoes
  • 2 French shallots, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh, chopped herbs (rosemary, savory, thyme, sage, etc.) or 10 ml (2 teaspoons) dried herbs
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (preferably amber syrup for its rich flavour)
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Turkey

  • 1 whole turkey or young turkey, about 3.5 kg (7 3/4 lbs)
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 160 °C (325°F).
  2. Combine all stuffing ingredients.
  3. Put turkey in a roasting pan, breast up and fill the cavity with the stuffing. Attach the thighs using a piece of string.
  4. Mix the rest of the ingredients and pour over the turkey. Cover and roast for about 2 hr. 20 min., or 40 min. per 1 kg (2.2 lbs) until the meat comes easily off the bones. Baste frequently.

More about Maple

Maple syrup comes in four classifications, according to colour and taste.

At the start of sugaring season, syrup is generally clear, with a lightly sweet taste. It becomes darker and caramelized as the season goes on.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years.

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

100% pure maple butter contains no butter or dairy.

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple butter comes from the sap of the maple tree… and that’s all.
