Roasted Goose with Sage and Scallion Dressing
 
1 - 12 to 14 pound goose 
1 cup butter 
12 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced 
1 medium onion, chopped 
1 cup chopped celery 
1 small apple, coarsely chopped 
6 cup coarse dry bread crumbs 
½ teaspoon salt 
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 
2 tablespoon chopped fresh sage or 1 tablespoon dried sage 
1 teaspoon dried thyme 
2 tablespoon chopped parsley 
½ cup chicken stock 
2 large eggs, lightly beaten 
fruity white wine or cider, for basting 

In a skillet, melt butter add scallions, onion, celery and apple. Sauté about 10 minutes until onion is golden brown. Transfer to large bowl, add bread crumbs, salt, pepper and herbs. Toss to combine, then add chicken stock and eggs. Toss again to combine ingredients. Add more stock if stuffing seems too dry. Preheat oven at 400° F. Rinse and dry goose, season cavity with salt and pepper. Stuff goose loosely with dressing and truss. Prick exterior of goose all over with sharp-tined fork to allow excess fat to escape during roasting. Place goose on rack in deep roasting pan, breast side up. Place in oven, roast 15 minutes, then lower temperature to 350° F. Continue roasting 20 minutes per pound or until goose is very well-browned and leg joints move easily. During roasting remove any fat that accumulates in pan and baste with white wine or cider. When goose is done, remove to board loosely covered with aluminum foil for ½ hour before carving.
