  and saute for 10 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing
  bowl. Cook the pork sausage in the same skillet,
  crumbling with a fork, until it is no longer pink.
  Remove and add to the celery mixture. Add the
  stuffing mix, apricots with cooking liquid, and
  almonds, stir to combine.

  Heat 1/2 cup butter and the stock in a small
  saucepan just until the butter melts. Pour over
  the stuffing mixture and add the remaining 1/2 cup
  Grand Marnier. Stir well to moisten the stuffing.
  Season with 1/2 teaspoon thyme, salt and pepper
  to taste.

  Preheat oven to 450F degrees. Rinse the turkey
  inside and out and pat dry. Squeeze the juice of
  the oranges all over the turkey and in the neck and
  body cavities. Spoon the stuffing loosely into the
  cavities. Set aside any extra stuffing. Sew up the
  cavities or close with small trussing skewers. Place
  the turkey on a roasting rack in a roasting pan.
  Sprinkle all over with 1 teaspoon thyme and salt and
  pepper to taste. Spread the 2 cups butter all over
  the turkey. Turn breast side up in the pan and cover
  the pan with aluminum foil. Place turkey in the oven
  and reduce heat to 425F degrees. Roast for 3 hours.
  Remove the foil and roast, basting occasionally,
  until the juices run clear when the meaty part of
  the thigh is pierced with a sharp skewer, about 2
  more hours. Bake the leftover stuffing in a baking
  dish at 325F degrees for 30 minutes. Let turkey stand,
  covered with foil for 15 minutes before carving.
