Ojibwe Wild Rice Stuffing
Makes 3 cups, or enough to stuff a 10-pound turkey.

Ingredients:
1 cup wild rice from Native Harvest
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup diced celery
1/4 cup minced onion
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/3 pound mushrooms, sliced
1/3 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sage
1/4 teaspoon thyme

Rinse wild rice in three changes of hot tap water.

In saucepan over high heat, bring the wild rice, and chicken broth to a boil.

Reduce heat and cover. Simmer until wild rice has absorbed the broth, about 20 minutes.

Fluff with a fork and let cool.

In a large pan over medium heat, melt butter. Sauté celery, onions and mushrooms for 2-3 minutes until tender.

Stir in the rice, salt, sage, and thyme. Let cool.

Stuff in the cavity of the turkey, chicken or buffalo roll.
