  • To prepare the chestnuts, start by scoring an X on them with a sharp knife, place them on a baking sheet with 1/2 cup of water, and bake at 250 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes.
  • Once you have done this, it will be easy to peel them while they are still warm and have them ready for your filling.
  • In a baking dish, arrange the bread and bake for 15 minutes or until slightly toasted.
  • In a large pot over medium heat, cook the onion, celery, and spices with the butter. Cook until the onion and celery are well cooked, then add the chestnuts and cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Add the bread and season with salt and pepper, and your filling is ready to stuff your turkey.
  • This filling can be made up to 2 days before you cook your turkey.
