Ingredients
2
tablespoons margarine or butter
1/2
cup chopped onion
1/2
cup chopped celery
3
cups crumb-style cornbread stuffing mix
1/4
teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1
(11-oz.) can whole kernel corn, red and green peppers
3/4
cup water
4
oz. (1 cup) finely shredded Cheddar cheese
1
(5 to 5 1/2-lb.) fresh or frozen whole turkey breast with bone, thawed
2
tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
1/2
teaspoon peppered seasoned salt
1/4
teaspoon dried thyme leaves
Preparation
Heat oven to 325°F. Melt 2 tablespoons margarine in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery; cook 3 to 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Add stuffing mix, 1/4 teaspoon thyme, corn and water; mix until moistened. Stir in cheese.
Mound stuffing in center of ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish. Place turkey, skin side up, over stuffing. Brush turkey with 2 tablespoons margarine; sprinkle with peppered seasoned salt and 1/4 teaspoon thyme. Cover with foil; insert meat thermometer through foil so bulb reaches center of thickest part of breast meat, but does not rest on bone.
Bake at 325°F. for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until turkey is fork-tender, its juices run clear and meat thermometer registers 170°F. Remove foil during last 30 minutes of baking. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Cut turkey into slices; serve with stuffing.
