8 oz. blue cheese, crumbled
3 bunches scallions, sliced
4 stalks celery, sliced
8 oz. walnuts, chopped

Carve bird, slicing meat with the skin on. Set aside.
Spread walnuts on a sheet pan and roast at 350° F. 3-5 min., shaking pan once. Reserve.
Wash, core, and quarter pears and apples. Brush lightly with olive oil, and roast at 350° F. until flesh turns golden.
