This is an old family recipe. If you like wild rice, try this with your turkey! You won't be disappointed! (This recipe will stuff a 12 lb. bird. Can be easily doubled for larger bird. You can stuff it and cook it in the bird, or cook it in a dish as stated below.)

WILD RICE STUFFING



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.

WILD RICE TURKEY STUFFING



Wild Rice Turkey Stuffing image

This is the Turkey stuffing of choice for my family. Growing up my dad was Celiac and could not have traditional stuffing, my mom always made this instead. As a result I don't really like traditional bread stuffing very much! It has a wonderful nutty taste because of the whole grain rice. The raisins give it a bit of a sweet surprise mixed with the savory, I am not a big raisin fan so I often leave them out but if you like raisins go for it. (This recipe will not work with any form of white rice.)

Categories     Brown Rice

Time 1h15m

Yield 5 cups, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups long grain brown rice
1/2-3/4 cup wild rice
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
2 cups mixed mushrooms
1 cup onion
1 1/2 cups celery and all the celery leaves from 1 celery
1 cup raisins (optional)
salt
pepper
3 eggs
1 cup milk

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.

ROAST TURKEY WITH WILD RICE, SAUSAGE, AND APPLE STUFFING



Roast Turkey with Wild Rice, Sausage, and Apple Stuffing image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h15m

Yield 8 servings of 2/3 cup stuffing and 4 ounces skinless turkey

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup wild rice
3 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cooking apple, such as a Golden Delicious, Gravenstein, or Rome, peeled, cored, and chopped
2 ribs celery with leaves, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
Pinch ground mace or nutmeg
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound fresh Italian-style turkey sausage, casings removed
1/2 cup pecan pieces, toasted (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 (8 to 10 pound) turkey, fresh or thawed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the stuffing: Combine the wild rice, water, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and just bursting, about 30 minutes. (Times may very depending on the brand of rice used.) Drain and set aside.
  • Adjust an oven rack to lowest position and remove other racks. Preheat to 325 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, apple, celery, garlic, thyme, mace, remaining 1 teaspoon salt and pepper, to taste. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon and cook until it loses most of its rosy color, but not so much that it's dry, about 5 minutes more. Stir in the cooked wild rice, pecans, and parsley into the vegetable mixture. (This can be made the day before.)
  • For the turkey: Remove turkey parts from neck and breast cavities and reserve for other uses, if desired. Dry bird well with paper towels, inside and out. Melt the butter together with the poultry seasoning. Salt and pepper inside the bird cavity. Loosely add the stuffing to the cavity and set the bird on a rack in a roasting pan, breast-side up, and brush generously with the seasoned butter, then season with salt and pepper. Tent the top of the bird with foil.
  • Roast the turkey for about 2 hours undisturbed. Remove and discard the foil. Baste with the remaining butter. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F and continue to roast until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, about 20 to 25 minutes more. Remove turkey from oven and tent with foil for 15 minutes before carving.
