This stuffing recipe (which is a lot like a wild rice pilaf) goes great with our lemon herb butter roast chicken and some roasted brussels sprouts with bacon! Lots of chewy, nutty-flavored wild rice gets mixed with soft sweet potatoes, crunchy pecans, and sweet-tart dried cranberries. It’s a magical fall side dish. Serve it with our perfect baked chicken breasts on the weekend, then reheat it for lunches during the week. (It reheats beautifully!) Or even better, make wild rice stuffing for Thanksgiving dinner. You’ll make your guests very happy!
This recipe makes enough to stuff a 12-15 lb. bird. It’s best to put the stuffing into the turkey when the stuffing is warm. If you’ve made it ahead of time, simply reheat it first. Loosely stuff your turkey to ensure that it cooks properly. (If you have extra wild rice dressing, serve it on the side or save it for later.)
But it’s also a must alongside turkey at Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.
