Preheat oven to 375º degrees Fahrenheit. Place bread slices in oven and bake 5-7 minutes, turn slices over, bake another 5-7 minutes, or until toasted on both sides. Be VERY careful not to burn the bread. Then using a serrated bread knife cut the slices into small crumbs, about ¼ to ½ inch. Measure yield, it should be 8 cups of bread crumbs. Place all bread crumbs into a large mixing bowl and set aside. Reset oven at 325º and continue to preheat.
Using a large skillet, cover and cook the celery, onions, parsley, and green pepper in ½ cup of the chicken broth plus ½ cup water until tender, about 5 minutes. Then remove from heat.
Toast walnuts in a dry skillet for 1 to 2 minutes being careful that they do not burn. Remove and place in a paper towel, crush with the side of a large rolling pin or other metal pan. The yield should be ½ cup. Set aside.
Stir spices evenly into vegetable mixture. Then gently blend this mixture into the large
bowl containing the bread crumbs making sure the crumbs are also evenly coated. Add
the remaining 1½ cups of chicken broth. Mix completely then fold in the toasted walnuts.
Coat a 2-quart casserole dish with vegetable spray. Spoon stuffing into dish. Drizzle
margarine over the top of the stuffing. Cover and bake at 325º for 45-55 minutes or until golden & crispy.
