In a medium bowl, toss the celery, bread cubes, and onion together; season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stuff this mixture into the turkey cavity, then add the apple halves inside as well. Place the turkey in a roasting bag and pour the apple juice over both the inside and outside of the turkey. Seal the bag and set the turkey breast side up in a large roasting pan.
