Thanksgiving stuffing

6 Cups dried bread squares, unseasoned
1/2 Cup chopped pecans
3 Tb butter
1/2 lb mild Italian sausage
1/2 lb sliced mushrooms (I just used a container)
about 1 C chopped celery
about 1 C chopped yellow onion
1/2 green apple, peeled and chopped
1/3 C raisins
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3/4 tsp sage
1/4 tsp thyme
about 2 1/2 C chicken broth

Toast pecans in a frying pan, but don't burn. Remove from pan and set aside.
Melt half of butter in pan and add bread cubes and let them toast on all sides until they are slightly browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
Brown sausage, drain and remove from pan.
Melt remaining butter and saute the mushrooms, celery, and onion until the onion is tender. Add the apple, raisins, salt, pepper, sage, and thyme. Saute a minute or two more.
Mix all ingredients together in a greased 9 X 13 pan and add enough broth to moisten bread. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove cover and bake 10 minutes more.
