Ingredients

1 double-breasted turkey, 15-17 lbs.

2 1/2 cups softened butter

1 1/2 tablespoons salt

1 tablespoon ground allspice

1 medium onion, chopped

3/4 lb. lean ground beef

the liver from the turkey, finely chopped

4 large potatoes, peeled and diced

3 large tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped

3 tablespoons chopped parsley

3/4 cups blanched almonds, finely chopped

3/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped

3/4 cup golden raisins

3/4 cup pimento-stuff olives, finely chopped

1 cup dry white wine

Juice of 3 oranges

3 cups turkey or chicken broth

Directions

Wash the turkey and pat it dry with paper towels; mix 2 cups of the softened butter with the salt and allspice and spread the mixture evenly on the turkey, lifting the skin carefully to spread half of it under the skin. Heat the remaining 1/2 cup butter in a large saucepan, saute the ground beef and turkey liver until the beef is no longer pink, add the potatoes, tomatoes, parsley, almonds, walnuts, raisins,olives and wine. Cover and simmer 1 hour or until the mixture thickens, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Let the mixture cool, and use it to stuff the turkey. Place the stuffed turkey in a roasting pan, pour the orange juice and broth over it and bake it in a pre-heated 400º oven for 1/2 hour. Cover the pan with a lid or foil tent, lower the heat to 375º and continue roasting for another 4-5 hours, basting every 45 minutes with the liquid in the pan. Twenty minutes per pound is the average cooking time for a stuffed, roasted turkey; a thermometer inserted into the inner thigh muscle should register 180º-185º. Allow the turkey to rest for 1/2 hour before carving. The liquid in the pan may be thickened with flour or cornstarch if a thicker gravy is desired.

Sounds mighty tasty, but I have to ask, and please don't be offended.... why so much butter?
Turkey and ground beef have so much fat already... just wondering, but NO insult intended whatsoever.

No offense!
First of all i don't know why as you can see my friend Don e-mail me the recipes, and i ask him and he don't know except he thought it sounded good like i did
and since turkey can be pretty dry at time it seem like a good idea to me too
i do question the timecook!? 5 hours seem a hour too long at that temp now that i look at it
3 1/2 hours to 4 sound more like it
but in the southern part of the U.S. around here not enough butter is what most of us say lol!
so this must be a southerner (like i am) that made the recipes lol!
