Sausage-Pecan Turkey Stuffing

• 9 cups soft bread crumbs
• 1 pound bulk pork sausage
• 2 cups chopped onion
• 1/4 cup butter, cubed
• 3 unpeeled tart apples, coarsely chopped
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
• 1-1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon rubbed sage
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 cup apple juice
• Chicken broth
• 1 turkey (14 to 16 pounds)

1. Place bread crumbs in a large bowl; set aside. In a large skillet, cook sausage and onion in butter until sausage is no longer pink and onion is tender; do not drain. Add to bread crumbs. Stir in apples, pecans, parsley, thyme, sage, salt and pepper; stir in apple juice and enough broth to moisten.
2. Just before baking, stuff the turkey. Skewer openings; tie drumsticks together. Place on rack in a roasting pan. Bake at 325u0b0 for 5 to 5-1/2 hours or until a thermometer reads 185u0b0. When the turkey begins to brown, cover lightly with a tent of aluminum foil and baste if needed. Remove all stuffing.
