Ingredients
Scale
- 1 whole goose (10–12 lbs)
- 2 tart apples (e.g., Granny Smith), diced
- 2 sweet onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh thyme, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh sage, chopped
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Rinse the goose under cold water and pat dry. Season generously inside and out with salt and pepper.
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté onions until translucent; add in diced apples, herbs, salt, and pepper. Cook until softened.
- Allow the stuffing to cool slightly and then fill the cavity of the goose without packing too tightly.
- Place the stuffed goose breast-side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast for approximately 2-3 hours until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), basting occasionally.
- Let the goose rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.
