1 lb. firm texture white sandwich bread
2 tbsp. butter
1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
2 large firm ripe pears, cored, peeled and chopped
1/2 to 3/4 cup water
1/4 cup butter

Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread bread slices on baking sheets and place in oven for 20 minutes or until bread is dry. Put the 2 tablespoons of butter, onion and pear in a large skillet and cook over medium heat until tender but not brown (about 4 minutes). Set aside. Break the dried bread into small pieces and place in a very large bowl. In a small saucepan, boil 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup butter. Add to bread pieces and toss until just moistened. Stir in the pear mixture, pecans, parsley, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Add the remaining water as needed until mixture reaches desired moistness. Stuff turkey and roast at 325 degrees or transfer stuffing into a casserole dish and bake covered at 325-350 degrees for about 40 minutes. Serves 12 to 14.
