Wild Rice and Mushroom Stuffing!
This Wild Rice and Mushroom Stuffing is the perfect alternative to traditional stuffing. I love serving this at Thanksgiving and Christmas, but it also makes a delicious and elegant side dish year round. The mushrooms, onions, and apples make a perfect combination and compliment traditional fall flavours. The fresh sage and thyme add a beautiful aroma and add to the seasoning. You could use any fresh herbs you have on hand or dried herbs in their place.
This stuffing is gluten-free and vegan. It makes a great alternative for anyone with food allergies, and tastes delicious too! I like using a wild rice blend for this recipe, but you could use any rice you have on hand. I used the Floating Leaf Wild Rice Blend.
