Cran-Raisin Walnut Stuffing image

A stuffing that I made for a big turkey dinner last night. 3 Qts cooked, and gone before the night was out. I used a loaf of Wheat French bread for the bread cubes, so I could claim this was a healthy recipe! Amounts are approximate, since I just tossed it together.
