Wild Rice Stuffing image

I grew up in Minnesota and we ate a lot of wild rice. This stuffing recipe was my Aunt Lorraine's and I continue to use it every time I stuff a turkey. The success depends on the correct amount of spices. I just keep adding until you can smell them in the next room and then it is ready. Besides the spices listed, use salt and pepper to taste. Make the night before but do not stuff the turkey until just before ready to roast.

  • Pour boiling water over the wild rice and drain.
  • Do not skip this step.

  • Add enough giblet water to moisten.
  • Add the spices and one egg.
  • Knead the mixture until well blended, adding more spices and/or giblet water as needed.
