Sausage-Pecan Turkey Stuffing image

Ever since I first tried this, I've never made another stuffing. The sausage and pecans really give it a different flavor. Our home is on 20 acres where we have hay and horses-my husband, our two children, (8 and 6) and I ride a lot.

I thought this stuffing was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This stuffing was a little too dry for my taste. I think I would add more broth or butter next time.
