Method
- Place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast at Gas 4, 180˚C, fan 160°C for 8 minutes, then rub in a tea towel to remove the skins. Chop them up coarsely.
- Heat a large pan, add the cumin seeds and fry for 1-2 minutes to release their aromas. Add pancetta and cook until it’s well coloured.
- Add the celery, onions, apple, sage, pepper and thyme. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until all the vegetables and the apple are just tender. Then add the butter and garlic, and allow to melt and infuse.
- Put the breadcrumbs, beaten egg and nuts into a large bowl and add the celery mixture, combining well.
- Allow to cool before using to stuff the turkey neck. Or place in a buttered baking dish and cook for 30 minutes.
Cook's tip
Make the stuffing in advance and allow to cool before stuffing the turkey neck end –cook the rest in a dish
