Ingredients
- 2 cups wild rice I used a blend of wild and brown rice
- 8 ounces turkey bacon chopped
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup yellow onion diced
- ½ cup carrot diced
- ½ cup celery diced
- 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons thyme dried
- 1 day-old day-old loaf bread about 6 cups of bread cubes, country-style or artisan, cubed
- 12 ounces goat cheese or cream cheese
- ½ cup flat-leaf parsley chopped, fresh
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups chicken broth or stock
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cook wild rice according to package directions, making sure the rice cooks completely and is very tender and soft. Transfer the rice to a large bowl when it has finished cooking and has cooled for about 10 minutes.
- Heat the butter in a large 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon, onions, carrots and celery and cook until soft, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the onion mixture, bread cubes, goat cheese, parsley, salt, pepper and chicken broth to the large bowl with the rice. Mix to combine. I like my stuffing a bit on the non-soggy side so add more chicken broth 1/4 cup at a time if you’d like your mixture more wet.
- Transfer the mixture to a large (9X13-inch or even larger) lightly greased baking dish and bake, uncovered, until heated through and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Goat Cheese: if you don’t prefer the taste of goat cheese, simply substitute cream cheese, a milder tasting creamy cheese, or leave it out altogether.
