Pecan Rice Stuffing I

Melt the butter or margarine in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and celery to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the cooked rice (prepared in turkey or chicken broth) to the skillet and mix well to combine.

Add the chopped pecans, ground thyme, ground sage, salt, black pepper, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg to the rice mixture.

Stir all ingredients together thoroughly until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the stuffing, about 2-3 minutes.

Reduce heat to low and cook the stuffing for 5 minutes, stirring gently to heat through completely.

Taste and adjust seasonings if needed before serving or transferring to a baking dish if desired.
