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.
