Turkey stuffed with Foie Gras Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 whole turkey (about 14-16 pounds)
• 1 pound foie gras, cut into small pieces
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Clean and rinse the turkey with cold water, pat dry with paper towels, and set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the foie gras, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, thyme, rosemary, sage, salt, and black pepper. Mix well with your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
4. Fill the turkey cavity with the stuffing mixture and use kitchen twine to tie the legs together.
5. Brush the melted butter all over the turkey, including the breasts, thighs, and wings. Pour the chicken broth into the roasting pan.
