Directions

Bring 2¼ cup of the chicken broth to a boil. Add the wild rice. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 50 minutes, or until the rice is just tender.

In a large saucepan, heat the butter over medium-high heat. When the butter is melted, add the mushrooms, celery, onion, and walnuts. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

Stir in the dried fruit and poultry seasoning. Remove the pan from the heat.

In a large bowl, mix together the rice mixture, the vegetable mixture, and the stuffing until combined. Add enough of the remaining 11/4 cup of chicken broth until the mixture is moist enough so that it sticks together.

Use the mixture to stuff the poultry of your choice. Makes enough stuffing to stuff a 14-pound turkey or goose, 2 ducks, or 6 to 7 Cornish hens.
