Remove from the heat; stir in the raisins with broth, croutons, nuts, pepper and the remaining broth.

Remove plastic wrap; fill with stuffing mixture. Close roast; tie at 2-inch intervals with kitchen string and secure ends with toothpicks.

3. Place on aa rack in a shallow baking pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 425 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
