Wild Rice Stuffing

[Chrissyb]

I am looking for a wild rice stuffing for Thanksgiving, one to put in the the turkey. Something kind of fruity, this will be my first time making anything like this so any help is very appreciated. Thank you so so much.

Here are 2 I found-haven't tried but got good reviews (obviously sub gluten-free bread on the 1st one, 2nd one is gluten-free...)

Thanks!

I'm going to try the Wild Rice with Pearl Onions and Dried Cherries and Apricots. It sounds wonderful.

Mom's glutteny stuffing recipe calls for lots of peeled chopped apples and diced onions sauteed in butter. (She does this the night before to get it out of the way). Then the day of, she mixes 1-2 sticks butter and lots of chicken stock over the pre seasoned bagged bread crubes (pepperidge farms). She adds the apple/onion mix and tosses with salt/pepper/extra sage. She adds more broth until the bread cubes are very moist, but not soggy. They retain their shape, but are soft. Some goes in the bird, and the rest in a big pan to bake in the oven. She uncovers it before it is finished so the tips of the bread cubes toast a little. This is the BEST! A little sweet and savory at the same time. There is no recipe. We've tried writing it down, but it is not the same. Even though this has gluten, I posted it so that someone could adapt it for a gluten-free recipe.

I've gone gluten-free/DF/EF, so I've been searching for a way to adapt it for myself and my cornish game hen. Your wild rice idea is PERFECT. I will steam 3/4c wild rice in broth. Then add 1/2 an apple and maybe 1/3 of a medium onion to saute in lots of soy butter. I'll mix it all together with the seasoning's that mom reads off the back of the Sage Pepperidge Farm's package. I'll add extra salt and pepper and sage and stuff my baby birdie. The wild rice should give the right texture and it should taste close enough to mom's. Hmmm. Maybe I'll make a double recipe and let the family have a taste. Thanks for helping me think this through. I hope it helps you or someone else too.
