    3      medium        onions -- chopped
    3      medium        tart apples -- chopped
    1 1/2  cups          fully cooked ham -- diced
    1      cup           celery -- sliced
    1      Tablespoon    dried savory
    2      teaspoons     lemon peel -- grated
    1 1/2  teaspoons     orange peel -- grated
    1      teaspoon      salt
      1/2  teaspoon      each: pepper and fennel seed,
      1/2  cup           butter or margarine
    1 1/2  cups          slivered almonds -- toasted
      1/2  cup           dried currants
    1      cup           turkey or chicken broth
      1/2  cup           apple juice
    1      14 pound      turkey -- (14 to 16)
 
 Cut bread into 1/2″ cubes and place in a single layer on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 225 degrees for 30-40 minutes, tossing occasionally until partially
dried. Meanwhile, in a skillet, saute the next 10 ingredients in butter until
onions and apple are tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a
 large bowl. Add the bread cubes, almonds, currants, broth and juice; toss well.
Just before baking, stuff the turkey. Skewer openings; tie drumsticks together.
Place on a rack in a roasting pan. Bake, uncovered at 325 degrees for 4-1/2 to 5
hours or until thermometer reads 185 degrees. When turkey begins to brown, cover
lightly with foil and baste if needed.
