Preparation

• In a large skillet, fry the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Pour off all but 4 Tbs. of the bacon grease and set the pan over moderate heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots, thyme, caraway seeds, celery seeds, and salt. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 10 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a boil, scraping the pan to loosen and dissolve the browned bits. Add the apples, cover, and cook until the apples are tender. Remove from the heat and combine in a large bowl with the bread cubes and sauerkraut. Season with pepper; toss to combine.
• 如果用火鸡做饭，请在烤前将馅料放在鸟中。松散地包装馅料，留出足够的空间将您的整个手放入鸟的腔中。用即时阅读的温度计检查鸟类中的馅料至160º至165ºF。如果在馅料之前完成了鸟，请将鸟从烤箱中取出，将馅料倒入砂锅中，然后在土耳其休息时继续烘烤它。
• If baking some or all of the stuffing in a casserole, pour a cup or two of stock over the stuffing to replace the juices the stuffing would have absorbed from the bird. Bake it covered until heated through, 45 minutes to 1 hour. For a crunchy top, uncover it for the last 15 minutes of baking.
