Stuffing Ingredients:
3 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1-1/2 cups orange juice
9 cups dried bread cubes
1 cup butter, melted
6 ribs (3 cups) celery, sliced 1/2-inch
2 medium (1 cup) onions, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon allspice
Turkey Ingredients:
1 (18 to 22-pound) fresh or frozen turkey, thawed
Sauce Ingredients:
1/2 cup orange juice
2 (10-ounce) packages frozen cranberry-orange sauce
Stir together cranberries, sugar and 1-1/2 cups orange juice in 3-quart saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until cranberries pop and sugar dissolves (9 to 11 minutes); cool 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir together all remaining stuffing ingredients in large bowl. Stir in cranberry mixture.
Heat oven to 325°F. Stuff turkey with stuffing. Place turkey on rack in roasting pan. Bake as directed on turkey package or approximately 5 to 6 hours. (Meat thermometer should read 180°F in thigh.)

Baste turkey with sauce during last 30 minutes of baking time. Loosely cover turkey with aluminum foil if browning too quickly. Heat remaining sauce; serve over turkey.
