Best Twelfth Night Turkey With Wild Rice Stuffing And Ale Reduction Recipes

WILD RICE STUFFING FOR TURKEY

Steps:

• Dissolve 3 cubes bouillon in 1 cup hot water. In a medium saucepan, combine wild rice with bouillon water, then fill with just enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Mix remaining 1 cube bouillon in 1 cup hot water. Heat butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in celery and green pepper; cook until tender. Mix in remaining bouillon water. Pour skillet contents into a large bowl. Stir together cooked rice, croutons, and poultry seasoning.
• Stuff turkey loosely, and cook turkey as directed. Or put stuffing into a well greased baking dish, cover, and bake 30 minutes in a preheated oven at 325 degrees F (165 degree C).

MEDITERRANEAN GRAIN STUFFING

Steps:

• Combine the wild rice, broth, 4 cups water and 2 teaspoons salt in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer; cover and cook 20 minutes. Add the farro and cook, covered, 20 more minutes. Add the white rice and cook, covered, until all the grains are tender, another 10 to 20 minutes. Drain any excess liquid, then spread out the grains on a baking sheet and let cool to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 350˚ F and butter a 9-by-13-inch or other 3-quart baking dish. Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red onion, celery and carrots; season with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Add the thyme and cook for about 1 more minute.
• Combine the cooled grains, vegetable mixture, preserved lemon, olives and tomatoes in a large bowl. Transfer to the baking dish and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Cover with foil and bake 25 minutes, then uncover and bake until the stuffing is heated through and the top is lightly browned around the edges, 20 to 30 more minutes. Top with parsley or basil before serving.

WILD RICE TURKEY STUFFING

Steps:

• Put rice into large pot of water about 8 cups. Simmer for 45 min to an hour just until the wild rice has started to burst. Drain water and allow to cool to room temperature. While the rice is cooking, chop up the mushrooms, onion, and celery and saute, celery should still be firm once cooked. When rice is cooled add it to the vegetable mixture with all remaining ingredients seasoning for taste.
• Take cheese cloth and line inside of turkey with enough extra to tie up later. Spoon stuffing mixture into the cheesecloth/turkey tie closed. If you have extra put it into another piece of cheesecloth and put this into the bottom of the roaster so that it is in the pan juices later.
• Cook turkey as normal.
• **I have used a prepackaged rice mix to make this as well it is called "Lundberg Wild Blend" 1 package is the perfect amount for this recipe just replace for both of the above rice amounts. I get it from our Walmart Supercentre.
• Additional seasoning can be added as well for instance if you really like sage in your stuffing there is no reason why you could not add it here as well.
