6 lbs BONELESS TURKEY THIGHS, skinless and trimmed of any fat

2 tbsp grainy mustard

TURKEY BUNDLES
Soak apricots and raisins in boiling water to cover until plumped and soft, about 15 minutes. Drain well.
In saucepan, over medium-high heat, combine celery, onions, garlic and 1/2 to 1 cup water; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer about 3 to 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Stir in apricots and raisins. Gradually add bread cubes, folding in gently until stuffing is moist but not sticky.
Flatten turkey thighs to approximately 3/4-inch thick.
Divide stuffing evenly between thighs. Encase stuffing by folding opposite sides of thighs over stuffing to make a bundle. Secure bundle with metal skewers.
Arrange bundles, seam-side-down, on lightly greased rack in a hotel pan. Roast in a preheated 325 degree F oven for 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until meat thermometer reaches 165-170 degrees F.
CREAMY MUSTARD SAUCE and SERVICE
