• 2-1/4 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 cup butter, cubed
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon each dried marjoram, rubbed sage and dried rosemary, crushed
• 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons minced chives
• 1 loaf (1 pound) sliced bread
• 1 pound bulk pork sausage
• 1/2 cup butter, cubed
• 4 cups thinly sliced celery
• 3 cups thinly sliced carrots
• 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, chopped
• 1/2 pound cubed fully cooked ham
• 2 cups green onions
• 2 cups chopped pecans
• 1 large tart apple, chopped
• 1 cup chopped dried apricots
• 1 tablespoon rubbed sage
• 2 teaspoons dried marjoram
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 cup egg substitute
• 1 turkey (16 to 18 pounds)
• 1 cup chicken broth

1. In a small saucepan, combine the broth, butter and salt; bring to a boil. Add herbs; set aside.
2. Toast bread; cut into 1/2-in. cubes. Place in a bowl. In a skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; remove with slotted spoon and add to bread. Add butter to drippings; saute the celery, carrots, mushrooms, ham and onions for 15 minutes.
3. Add to bread mixture; stir in the nuts, fruit and seasonings. Add egg substitute and 3/4 cup basting sauce; mix lightly.
4. Stuff turkey with about 8 cups dressing. Skewer openings; tie drumsticks together. Place on rack in roasting pan. Baste with some of remaining basting sauce.
5. Bake, uncovered, at 325u0b0 for 5 to 5-1/2 hours or until a thermometer reads 180u0b0 for the turkey and 165u0b0 for the stuffing, basting every 30 minutes. When turkey begins to brown, cover lightly with foil.
6. Add broth to remaining dressing; toss to coat. Place in a greased 2-1/2-qt. baking dish; refrigerate. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Cover and bake at 325u0b0 for 1 hour; uncover and bake 10 minutes.
