3 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1-1/2 cups orange juice
9 cups dried bread cubes
1 cup butter, melted
6 ribs (3 cups) celery, sliced 1/2-inch
2 medium (1 cup) onions, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon allspice
Turkey Ingredients
1 (18 to 22-pound) fresh or frozen turkey, thawed
Sauce Ingredients
1/2 cup orange juice
2 (10-ounce) packages frozen cranberry-orange sauce
To make the stuffing, stir together cranberries, sugar and 1-1/2 cups orange juice in 3-quart saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until cranberries pop and sugar dissolves (9 to 11 minutes); cool 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir together all remaining stuffing ingredients in large bowl. Stir in cranberry mixture.
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Stuff turkey with stuffing. Place turkey on rack in roasting pan. Bake as directed on turkey package or approximately 5 to 6 hours. (Meat thermometer should read 180 degrees in thigh.)
Meanwhile, stir together sauce ingredients in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until melted (2 to 3 minutes).
Baste turkey with sauce during last 30 minutes of baking time. Loosely cover turkey with aluminum foil if browning too quickly. Heat remaining sauce; serve over turkey.
