Many roast-turkey recipes call for stuffing the bird with apples. To reverse the idea – and to make a more manageable amount – this recipe fills hollowed-out apples with ground turkey. The seasoning options are limited only by your imagination, but this version takes a Mediterranean approach, using cinnamon, cumin, nuts and raisins. Pure bliss!
INGREDIENTS
- 6 medium apples
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp ground cloves
- 3 tbsp applesauce
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 6 tbsp white wine
- 6 tsp butter (or goose fat)
- 2 cups cooked barley
- 2 cups cooked millet
- 1 tbsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp cumin
- 2 oz slivered almonds
- 1/4 cup raisins
INSTRUCTIONS

- Prepare a small pan by drizzling in 2 tbsp olive oil. Pour in apple sauce and 4 tbsp wine.
- Prepare the apples by coring them and hollowing out the pulp using a melon-baller or small spoon.
- In a medium bowl, combine ground turkey with ground cinnomon and cloves.
- Stuff the apples with the turkey mixture and arrange them in the pan.
- Gently pour remaining 2 tbsp wine onto the apples, and place 1 tsp butter on the top of each. Sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon.
- Bake apples for 45 minutes. Optionally baste the apples periodically with the liquid in the pan.
