Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 2 onions, finely chopped
  • 250g streaky bacon sliced
  • 1 cup roasted hazelnuts, skins rubbed off and nuts roughly chopped
  • 1 cup dried cranberries or apricots, chopped
  • 10 thick slices bread, preferably whole grain, crumbed
  • 1 tbsp chopped thyme leaves
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 3 eggs
  • salt and ground black pepper

Method

  • Heat butter in a frypan and cook onions and bacon over medium-low heat until softened but not brown (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and place in a mixing bowl with nuts, cranberries or apricots, breadcrumbs and herbs. Stir to combine, then add the eggs and mix evenly.
  • Form stuffing into a 7cm-diameter log shape and place onto a square of tin foil. Wrap firmly and bake at 180 C for 30 minutes. If preferred, stuff half the mixture into the cavity of your turkey before roasting the turkey.
