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.

Bake, uncovered at 325ºF. for 4-1/2 to 5 hours or until thermometer reads 185ºF. When turkey begins to brown, cover lightly with foil and baste if needed.
