Zari and I have a 25 pounder left over from Christmas which we intend to make soonest. I will probably brine the bird in some kind of flavorful liquid, but it also needs to be filled (my cooking being the farce that it is).
My thoughts wandered to a savory/sweet dried fruit (apricots, dates, apples, pears, cherries, cranberries, bayberries) and maybe a few nuts type of stuffing ... either with or without bread. I was also thinking in terms of including a touch of saffron since this bird will be consumed by Iranian guests.
Anybody have any recipes or tips in this direction?
Thanks!!!
