Ingredients:
3 cups cooked Naosap Harvest Certified Organic Wild Rice
2 cups finely cubed bread
2 onions, chopped
1/2 cup butter
2 strips of bacon, fried and crumbled (optional)
3 Tbsp flour
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 tsp sage
1/4 tsp thyme
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Directions:
Saute onion in butter. Stir in flour; cook for 1 minute. Add broth; cook, stirring until smooth and thickened. Add remaining ingredients; toss lightly. Makes enough stuffing for a 6 – 8 pound (3 – 4 kg) bird.
Variations:
To put the “festive” into your stuffing, add any of the following –
1/2 cup blanched, roasted almonds (just brown in a dry frying pan)
1/2 cup Burgundy red wine (in place of some of the broth)
3/4 cup sliced, fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup dried cranberries
