Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, stuffing and dressing, side dish

Time 1h45m

Yield Stuffing for a 14- to 18-pound turkey

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 quarts chicken stock, turkey stock or vegetable stock
2 cups wild rice
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion or 4 shallots, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 pound mushrooms, trimmed and sliced
1 cup chopped celery
1/3 cup toasted almonds, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup dry sherry
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage, to taste
Black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Bring stock to a boil in a large saucepan, then add wild rice and salt to taste. When the liquid returns to the boil, lower heat, cover and simmer 40 minutes, until rice is tender and has begun to splay. Drain through a strainer, and set aside.
  • Heat oil over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet, then add onion or shallots. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about five minutes for onions or three minutes for shallots. Add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic. Cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add mushrooms and celery and cook, stirring, until mushrooms have softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in rice and remaining ingredients. Cook, stirring, until sherry has evaporated. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Remove from the heat, and allow to cool before stuffing your turkey. Or place in an oiled baking dish and cover, then warm for 20 to 30 minutes in a 350-degree oven.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your stuffing a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include cremini mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms.
  • Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the stuffing. This will help to release their flavor and aroma.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices. This will give your stuffing a more flavorful taste. Some good choices include thyme, rosemary, sage, and garlic.
  • Don't overstuff the turkey. This will prevent the stuffing from cooking properly.
  • Let the stuffing rest before serving. This will help it to set and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.

Conclusion:

Wild mushroom stuffing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover mushrooms and it is also a perfect side dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find one that you'll love.
