Directions

    Heat 4 tablespoons of the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until it begins to brown. Add the onion, celery, and garlic and cook until the onions are translucent, stirring regularly.
    Remove the skillet from the bead and add the breadcrumbs, apple, tarragon, basil, chives, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, a few generous grindings of black pepper, and the lemon zest. Mix well to combine. Return the skillet to medium heat and stir for 2 minutes to further combine the flavors. Remove from the heat and let the stuffing cool in the skillet. (Stuffing can be made up to this point a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator). Beat the lemon juice with the eggs and pour over the breadcrumbs. Mix very well to coat all the ingredients with the egg.
    Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and combine with the olive oil in a small dish.
