Turkey With Apricot-Water Chestnut Stuffing
"This turkey dinner illustrates the 19th century notion that anything worth doing is worth doing on a grand scale! I got my idea for this stuffing recipe from one of my Victorian decorating magazines, but I changed many of the ingredients. My family LOVES this stuffing - We had a house full of 12 guests for Christmas this year and everyone raved about this stuffing. Definitely a hit around here! Enjoy :)"
