Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups ground turkey (or ground chicken or lean ground beef)
• 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
• 2 eggs
• 1 7, 8 or 9-oz. packet Italian salad dressing mix
• 1/2 cup hot water
• 1 6-oz. box stuffing mix
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 cup diced celery
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1/2 cup apricot or orange preserves (or jam) or marmalade, melted

Directions

(Tip: If you prefer tender bites of celery, before adding the diced

celery to stuffing, simply melt a teaspoon of butter in a small skillet, then add diced celery and cook for about 3-5 minutes or until crisp-tender, stirring frequently.)

Place a 12-inch sheet of waxed paper on a baking sheet. Set aside. In a medium or large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, soft bread crumbs, eggs and Italian salad dressing mix until blended. Transfer meat mixture on waxed paper on baking sheet and press and shape into an 8x10-inch layer.

In a separate mixing bowl, combine water, stuffing mix, sautèed celery, mayonnaise and curry powder and mix until blended. Arrange stuffing mixture on top of meat in a strip down the middle (lengthwise). Using a spatula, lift sides up and over stuffing, then seal top and side edges. Using the waxed paper, gently roll loaf over so the top seam is facing down. Discard waxed paper. Chill in refrigerator for 1 hour, then bake for 40 minutes at 350° F, basting a couple times with preserves, jam or marmalade. Serve additional warmed marmalade on the side if desired.
