Crumble the muffins into the pan and combine with the vegetables. Add thyme and chicken stock. Cook stuffing 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove from heat and let stand in the warm pan.
• Turkey and Gravy: Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat and add the olive oil. Season turkey cutlets with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Saute 5 minutes on each side, then transfer cutlets to a warm plate and cover plate with aluminum foil. Return skillet to stove and reduce heat a bit. Add butter, then flour to the melted butter. Cook flour and butter a minute or two, stirring with a whisk. Whisk in chicken stock. Reduce the stock 2 or 3 minutes, to desired gravy consistency. Season with salt and pepper, to your taste.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Press stuffing onto bottoms of 8 greased muffin cups. Layer with beans and turkey. In a small bowl, combine mashed potatoes and cheese; spoon over turkey., Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 350°. Bake 15-20 minutes longer or until potatoes begin to brown. Let stand 10 minutes. Run a knife around sides of muffin cups to remove muffins. Serve with gravy.

• Preheat a 14-inch skillet or medium roasting pan over medium heat on your largest burner. Mix grill seasoning, cumin, paprika and coriander together. Place the thyme, cilantro or basil, parsley and pistachios in the food processor and process into a paste. Remove bowl from processor and remove blade from bowl. Have a rubber spatula on hand. Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil generously over the breasts to coat the skin. Loosen skin of the breasts with a small sharp knife. Divide the herb and nut paste between the flesh and skin on each breast. Use your hands to move the paste around under the skin to evenly distribute the mixture. Coat the extra-virgin olive oil coated skin with the spice mixture. Set the coated breasts into the large skillet or roasting pan. Wash hands. Set a second slightly smaller skillet or pan on top of the breasts and weight down with a couple of bricks covered in foil. Crisp the skin 8 to 10 minutes then transfer meat to oven and roast 35 to 40 minutes, until an instant-read meat thermometer registers 165 to 170 degrees F.
• While turkey roasts, heat a second large, deep skillet over medium to medium-high heat with 5 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces. To melted butter, add bay, celery, apple, 1/2 of the onion and zucchini. Season the vegetables liberally with salt and pepper. Cook 10 minutes or until softened. Add crumbled muffins and sunflower seeds to the pan and combine with the vegetables. Season the stuffing with poultry seasoning then adjust salt and pepper. Dampen the stuffing with 1 1/2 to 2 cups of stock. Pile the stuffing into a serving dish. Place in oven to just crisp up the top along with turkey or, if the pan does not fit, when the turkey comes out, switch on the broiler and crisp the top of stuffing - it should only take a couple of minutes, tops.
• In a sauce pot, melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat and add the finely chopped remaining 1/2 of the onion. Sweat the onion out 5 to 6 minutes to make it nice and sweet. Add the flour to the skillet and whisk 1 minute. Add in the chipotles and their sauce then whisk in 4 to 4 1/2 cups chicken stock. Thicken the gravy 2 to 3 minutes then season with salt, to taste.
• Let turkey rest to distribute juices then thinly slice and serve with mounds of stuffing and gravy.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the EVOO, once around the pan, and 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter melts into the oil, add the onions, celery, apples, and squash. Season with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning. Sauté the vegetables and fruit for 5 minutes. Add the chopped nuts and then crumble in all of the muffins. Moisten the stuffing with 1 cup of the chicken stock. Adjust the seasoning, turn off the heat, and reserve the stuffing, tented loosely with foil.
• Heat a second large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the cutlets with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of EVOO to the skillet and cook the cutlets for 6 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through. Transfer the meat to a platter and cover it with foil. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium low. Add the flour to the butter and whisk together for 2 minutes, or until the flour smells nutty and the color is medium brown. Whisk in the wine or beer and cook it for 30 seconds. Whisk in the remaining cup of chicken stock and bring it to a bubble. Stir the chipotle and scallions into the gravy and season with salt.

If the bread is too soggy, do not add the full amount.
