This is a stuffing that i have used in a Turkey at Xmas for several years in the main cavity of the turkey. Everyone prefers it to other stuffing i've tried.
I have found that HALF of this recipe is enough stuffing for a 13 odd lb turkey - the stuffing binds together when cooked and the butter in it keeps the turkey moist - remaining stuffing is nice the next day too with cold turkey.
MIXED-GRAIN RICE STUFFING
2 X 135g pkts Countrywild rice (blend of brown and wild rices)
125g (4oz) Butter
1 Onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 Carrots, peeled and finely diced
1 Stick celery, finely diced
1 Garlic clove, peeled and chopped
125g (4oz) lightly smoked bacon , diced
Cook the rice according to the pkt instructions.
Meanwhile melt the butter in a pan then add the onions, carrots,celery and garlic.Cook for 2-3 minutes until the vegatables begin to soften.
Add the bacon and cook for another minute.
Stir this mixture into the rice and season. Allow the mixture to cool before using to stuff the turkey.
The texture will be a little crumbly but when cooked with the turkey it swells and binds together.
