Bake at 225 for 30-40 minutes, tossing occasionally until partially dried. Meanwhile, in a skillet, sauté the next 10 ingredients in butter until onions and apple are tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and add bread cubes, almonds, currants, broth and juice; toss well. Just before baking, stuff the turkey. Skewer openings; tie drum sticks together. Place on a rack in a roasting pan. Bake uncovered, at 325 for 4 1/2 to 5 hours or until thermometer reads 185. When the turkey begins to brown, cover lightly with foil and baste if needed. Yield: 12 servings (12 cups stuffing). Note: Stuffing may be baked separately in a greased 3-qt baking dish. Cover and bake at 325 for 1 hour, uncover and bake 10 minutes.
