Fruit and Nut Stuffing image

I got this recipe off a morning show back in 1997 and it has been the stuffing of choice every Thanksgiving since. Will stuff a 16 to 18 lb. turkey.

This stuffing was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it would be better if you added some more herbs and spices.

I found this stuffing to be a bit dry. I think it would be better if you added some more liquid, like chicken broth or apple cider.
